How long does it take for birth control pills to regulate your period? If a woman doesn't have regular cycles, especially if she's wanting to get pregnant, a doctor may put her on birth control pills for two or three months and see if that regulates her body. In most cases just a few months of birth control is enough but sometimes it does take a little longer.

How does the combined oral contraceptive pill work? The pill changes the body's hormone balance so that your ovaries do not produce an egg (ovulate). It also causes the mucus made by the neck of the womb (cervix) to thicken. This makes it difficult for sperm to get through to the womb (uterus) to fertilise an egg.

What is an oral contraceptive pill? Oral contraceptives (birth-control pills) are used to prevent pregnancy. Estrogen and progestin are two female sex hormones. Combinations of estrogen and progestin work by preventing ovulation (the release of eggs from the ovaries).
