You’ve probably been wondering when the pill was going to pop up on this list. The pill is what most people think of when they think about birth control. Currently, there are tons of different varieties of birth control pills on the market. There are pills that contain multiple hormones, and pills that can cause you to have fewer periods—score! The pill works by stopping ovulation, meaning no egg is released. The only catch is you have to take the pill every single day around the same time for it to be effective.
