What are two synthetic hormones that are present in combination hormonal contraceptives?

Most birth control pills contain synthetic forms of two female hormones: estrogen and progestin. These synthetic hormones stabilize a woman's natural hormone levels, and prevent estrogen from peaking mid-cycle. Without the estrogen bump, the pituitary gland does not release other hormones that normally cause the ovaries to release mature eggs.


I missed my contraceptive pill yesterday. Is it safe to take two pills on the same day?

If you missed a contraceptive pill then sometimes it is recommended to take two pills in one day. Taking the two pills at least 10 hours apart should not be a problem. Taking them closer together could make you a little nauseous, and you do not want to throw up after taking the pills. If you want to take regular contraceptive pills as emergency contraception, you might take 2-4 at once. If it has been more than 24 hours since your last pill, use a second method of contraceptives anytime you have intimate for the next 7 days.

No it wont stop if you drink to much, no matter what you have you wont be able to stop you're hormones on working.

Why does vaginal bleeding occur if you miss a pill?

There are two types of birth control pills in a packet - they are different colours to help you identify them. There are 21 active pills and 7 sugar pills. The active pills contain hormones that prevent pregnancy. The sugar pills contain no hormones at all and are just there so that you get into the habit of taking a pill every day. Once you start on the sugar pills, you are receiving none of the hormones and this signals the body it is time to bleed. You should get your period soon after starting the sugar pills. Therefore if you miss a pill, this is giving your body the signal to bleed unintentionally.

What are the side effects to taking TWO birth control pills for days?

If you are referring to taking two pills from your packet of BC pills, the adverse effects could be break through bleeding, nausea, bloating and breast tenderness. The hormones mimic the hormones of pregnancy - the side effects would most likely be similar to early pregnancy. I would suggest this is not something you want to do frequently - there is no reason to double up on oral contraception.


If you have unprotected sex and have missed 5 of your contraceptive pills could you be pregnant?

Yes. Definitely. Birth control pills are out of your system very quickly. Around a day or two. That's why you're supposed to take them everyday. Also, if you just started the pills you're supposed to take a full week's worth for them to even be effective. You should probably take a pregnancy test. And either remember your pills or get on another form of birth control.


Can you take double birth control pills to get period a week early?

Taking two a day is not the way to go. There's no increase in contraceptive effectiveness. Talk with your health care provider about how to move your cycle date.
