Birth control pills and oral contraceptives can come in two forms. Combined oral contraceptives, a combination of two synthetic hormones, estrogen and progestin and the minipill, which consists solely of progestin. Combined Oral Contraceptives are more commonly used, though both kinds are available through prescription pharmacy providers. The combination pill prevents ovulation by suppressing the natural hormones in the body that would stimulate the ovary to release an egg. By taking this estrogen throughout the month, you can insure that no egg will be developed or released for that cycle. Progestin thickens the cervical mucus which hinders the movement of sperm. Progestin can also prevent the uterus' lining from developing normally. If an egg were fertilized, implantation is unlikely.

There are several birth control and contraceptive prescriptions available online. Women may now obtain these prescription birth control and contraceptives safely and easily online through "no prescription required" online pharmacies.
