Information
Progesterone pills, also known as the “mini-pill,” are a type of birth control that contain only one hormone, progesterone. This hormone works in several ways to prevent pregnancy. It thickens the mucous at your cervix, making it difficult for sperm to reach your womb. It also thins the lining of your womb, making it challenging for fertilized eggs to implant. Some progesterone-only pills prevent you from producing an egg.
Below we have provided information on the benefits, risks, and contraindications of progesterone pills.
