Frequently Asked Questions About Contraception

What is the hormonal contraceptive pill and how does it work? −
The contraceptive pill uses hormones to prevent pregnancy, mainly by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucus so sperm can't easily reach an egg. There are combined pills (oestrogen and progestogen) and progestogen-only pills, each working slightly differently.
How effective is the pill at preventing pregnancy? +
When taken correctly and consistently, the pill is over 99% effective. With typical use, where doses are sometimes missed or delayed, effectiveness is somewhat lower, which is why taking it at the same time each day matters.
How long does it take to start working? +
If started on the first day of your period, protection begins straight away. If started at any other time, you'll usually need to use additional contraception, such as condoms, for the first 7 days.
Do I need a physical appointment to get the pill? +
No, you can complete a short online consultation covering your medical history, and a clinician will review your answers to confirm the pill is safe and suitable for you before it's prescribed.
What happens if I miss a pill? −
What to do depends on which pill you take and how late you are taking it. Generally, take the missed pill as soon as you remember and continue as normal, but you may need extra contraception for a few days — check the patient leaflet or ask your clinician for guidance specific to your pill.
Are there any side effects I should know about? +
Common side effects include mild nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, or spotting between periods, especially in the first few months. These usually settle down as your body adjusts to the hormones.
Is the pill suitable for everyone? +
Not everyone can take every type of pill — factors like smoking, certain health conditions, migraines, or a history of blood clots can affect suitability. This is why a full medical history is reviewed during your consultation before anything is prescribed.
Will my fertility be affected once I stop taking it? +
No, fertility typically returns to normal soon after stopping the pill, and most people find their natural cycle resumes within a few weeks to a couple of months.
