Hello, I am from Chennai in India.My name is Supriya and I am in my twenties and am planning to have sex for the first time with my boyfriend. I would like to know, which brand of birth control pill is the most effective? Saheli or Arpan? I want to know about how exactly to use the pill, when to take them .I really want to be safe and hope someone, an older woman can answer me. I also want to know where to but the birth control pills in Chennai. Will any pharmacy like Apollo pharmacy carry them? Please answer.Thank you.

The third way the pill works in the above description is incorrect. The pill prevents a FERTILZED egg [embryo, new human being] from implanting in the uterus. Thus, the pill can act to cause a spontaneous abortion.

I know that antibiotics null and void the birth control pill, is this true for all types of hormonal contraception; such as Mirena, NuvraRing, and the Patch?

Using contraceptive pills has side effects on women. So abstinence and natural method of family planning is still the safest.
