You're probably VERY familiar with "The Pill" AKA the most common birth control method that is highly effective at preventing pregnancy if taken at the same time every day. There are two main categories of The Pill - "progestin-only pills" and "combination pills". In addition to pregnancy prevention, however, there are a bunch of other REALLY GREAT benefits from taking The Pill including:
- Regular, lighter periods
- Less PMS/cramps (combination pills)
- Clearer skin (combination pills)
- Less chance of ectopic pregnancy (combination pills)
- Protection from endometrial and ovarian cancers (combination pills)
Remember, every body is different and it's important to find the best birth control method for you. Learn more about ALL of your options here.
