Birth control pills, also known as oral contraceptives (OC's) have the main goal each month of preventing your reproductive system from releasing an egg.

What do birth control pills do and how do they work to prevent pregnancy?

Birth control pills contain hormones that prevent ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. They also thicken cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg. Additionally, birth control pills can thin the lining of the uterus, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant. These actions work together to prevent pregnancy.
