Picking the Mini-PillVideo Description:If you can't take estrogen but really want to take the birth control Pill, a "mini" form of this contraceptive may be just what you need. Transcript:There are more than 40 types of the birth control Pill available in the United States!  How do you pick one?  Although all oral contraceptives help prevent pregnancy, every form is a bit different.  One brand, the progestin-only Pill, is often referred to as the “mini pill.” The mini pill is between 90 and 98 percent effective, slightly less than other forms of oral contraceptives.  The mini pill gets its name because, unlike other forms of oral contraceptives, it does not contain estrogen.  The mini pill works by thickening a woman’s cervical mucus, making it very hard for sperm to enter her uterus. This is convenient for women who cannot take estrogen, or who react poorly to strong doses of hormones.  But because the mini pill has fewer hormones, it must be taken at the exact same time each day, which can be hard to remember for some.  Another disadvantage of the mini pill is that some women experience breakthrough bleeding between periods. If you’re not sure about the mini pill, check out our other videos to learn about additional forms of oral contraception!
