When taken as directed (one pill the same time each day), and not missing any doses, the Birth Control pill is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. This is due to the pill changing the lining of the uterus, the woman's ovulated egg is changed so sperm can not penetrate it, and the mucous of the cervix is changed so sperm can not pass through it.
