why does birth control need to be taken at the same time every day? If you take it randomly what happens?
In: Biology
Birth control pills suppresses hormones in your brain which tell your ovaries to release an egg. It does this by tricking your brain into thinking that there are enough hormones present already and it doesn’t have to make more. This is a time-released closed system and it covers you for a specific number of hours, so taking the pill at the same time every day is optimal and will prevent extreme highs and lows of the synthetic hormones and your own body’s hormone signals from conflicting with one another and becoming confused about who’s doing what, when.
The pill makes your body think it’s pregnant so, no egg. If you mess that timeline up, your natural processes will quickly take over again.
