Contraception has given women and men the freedom to enjoy themselves without having to worry about pregnancy. Contraception has been around for a long time. Papyrus scrolls and cravings dating back to the ancient Egyptian civilization have shown that the people of those times knew about contraception. They used pastes made from honey and extracts of the acacia tree and contraceptive pessaries. The ancient Greeks also used herb and plant extracts to prevent pregnancies. In fact, each large civilization had their methods of contraception and is known because of the writings that they left behind.

Modern contraception techniques are similar to the ones used in ancient times. The women’s rights movement of the 30s and 40s brought contraception out into the open and changed how it was looked at. Now both men and women are equally responsible for contraception. There are now birth control options for both men and women, although the options available to women are far greater. One of the options available to women is the birth control patch and this article aims to provide information on the birth control patch.

The birth control patch is a thin, beige, square patch that sticks to the skin. It works by releasing hormones into the blood stream through the skin. The hormones on the patch (i.e. progesterone and estrogen) disrupt the reproductive cycle and prevent ovulation. Simply put, it stops the ovaries from releasing eggs. If there’s no egg to fertilize, then there’s no pregnancy. But that’s not all it does. It also thickens the mucus in the cervix making it difficult for sperm to reach any eggs that may have been released. In spite of all this, if a sperm manages to fertilize an egg, then it will have a hard time attaching to the wall of the uterus because the patch also causes the lining in the uterus to thicken.

1. Diminished ovarian reserve
2. Hormonal imbalances which could predispose you to irregular cycles and thinning of the endometrium.
3. Changes in cervical mucus making it more hostile to the sperm.
