It's understandable to want more information about contraceptive options and which one will best suit your health needs. The short answer is yes, there are bioidentical birth control pills available. It’s important to understand the different types of birth control and the potential side effects before making a decision.
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are those that have an identical molecular structure as hormones produced by our bodies. These hormones can be used for contraception, but also in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Using them for contraception involves taking two or more hormones - typically estrogen and progesterone - to help suppress ovulation. HRT uses these same hormones, but with slightly higher doses to treat menopausal symptoms or serious medical conditions like endometriosis.
How Do Bioidentical Birth Control Pills Work?
The hormones found in both bioidentical and synthetic contraceptives work the same way: they prevent ovulation by thickening cervical mucus so sperm can't reach the egg. They also change the lining of the uterus so a fertilized egg can't implant and grow. When taken correctly these pills offer 99 percent protection against pregnancy!
Side Effects of Birth Control Pills
Some commonly reported side effects of any type of birth-control pill include:
These side effects generally go away after a few months of usage, however, it’s important to take note if symptoms persist because this could be an indication that a new form of birth control should be considered.
Choose Wisely
Choosing between synthetic or bioidentical birth control is ultimately up to you and your doctor, who will be able to better assess your individual health needs and risks associated with each type of contraceptive pill available on the market today.
