Minipill

The minipill is a hormonal contraceptive for the woman. The minipill doesn't contain any estrogen and only in a minimal concentration gestagen. The minipill causes a change of the cervical mucus so that the sperm cells cannot reach the womb. In addition, the womb mucosa doesn't build up correctly so that the stimulated ovum doesn't nest there. The minipill doesn't impede the ovulation, only the "new minipill", generally.

The Pearl index of the minipill is between 0.8 and 3.

Application

Unlike the pill the minipill must be taken every day around the same time (except for two hours difference). There is no more protection, if this is forgotten, however, then for the next 14 days. In this case (e.g. condoms) must be gone back to other contraceptives. Becomes the minipill every day, taken without pause also during the menstruation. Through this the rule can change, it completely remains frequent out.

Advantages

Disadvantages

The minipill intrudes on the natural cycle of the woman. It works for the first time 14 days after the first intake day. Within the first months intermenstrual bleedings can appear. The woman must think of the minimum, time exact taking of the minipill

Medicines, primarily antibiotics, can lift the effect of the minipill partly or completely. The effect substances of the pill are included in the blood by stomach intestine time. Vomiting or diarrhea can therefore impair the safety.
