What does a Mini pill do?

The Mini pill is a form of progestogen-only contraception that primarily prevents pregnancy. It functions by making the cervical mucus thicker, which blocks sperm from reaching the egg, and by altering the uterine lining to prevent the egg from implanting. Additionally, it may occasionally prevent ovulation from occurring.

How does the Mini pill work?

The Mini pill contains only progestogen, which works in several ways to prevent pregnancy: it thickens the cervical mucus to block sperm, makes the uterine lining unsuitable for implantation, and, in some cases, can prevent ovulation.
