The new oral contraceptive pill, called Seasonale, work in the same manner as the other oral contraceptive, but it is taken in a 12-week regimen rather than three weeks at a time. The result is having only four periods a year.
Seasonale oral contraceptive is available in the market by prescription, 98-99 percent effective and, like all oral contraceptive, must be taken on a daily schedule regardless of sexual activity. Innovation has taken birth control past physically ingesting hormones through the mouth. Ortho Evra, the patch, is a self-adhesive patch for the skin worn on the upper body, lower abdomen or even the butt.
In theory, women experience freedom from menstrual periods for three months at a time. In practice, however, the results are a bit different. Clinical trials showed that women using Seasonale are more likely to experience "unplanned bleeding and spotting" than women using a traditional birth control pill, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Seasonale adds that "during the first year, total bleeding days are similar to a traditional pill."
Try to remember to take an oral contraceptive at the same time each day cab be annoying. Perhaps the only thing more annoying about this form of birth control is the one week each month a woman does not have to take the pill.
More than 60 per cent of the 62 million U.S. women between ages 15 and 44 use some sort of contraception, with 11.6 (about 30 per cent) of them choosing birth control pills, according to a 2005 survey by the medical institute, a non-profit research group. The global market for hormonal contraceptive was $ 5 billion US in 2005, according to an estimate by U.K. research firm.
