Frequently Asked Questions
Which contraceptive pill brands do you offer?
Our medical team prescribe all major birth control pill brands. You’ll be given the opportunity to request your preference during the initial questionnaire.
Is the contraceptive pill 100% effective?
The contraceptive pill is 99.7% effective when used perfectly. This rate of success drops slightly when human error is considered (when you miss a dose or take it at a different time each day).
Are there any side effects associated with taking the contraceptive pill?
Like any medication, side effects are a possibility. The hormones in the contraceptive pill may cause side effects, but they usually disappear after a few months. Common side effects include:
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Sore breasts
- Period changes
- Spotting (bleeding between periods)
The contraceptive pill shouldn’t make you feel sick or uncomfortable. So, if you’re experiencing any persisting or prolonging side effects of concern, consult with your hub.health clinician for further review. A change of brands may be required.
How does the contraceptive pill work?
The contraceptive pill contains two hormones, oestrogen and progesterone, that prevent pregnancy by stopping sperm from reaching an egg and thickening cervical fluid to make it hard for sperm to enter.
Can I get pregnant on the contraceptive pill?
Yes. Despite the contraceptive pill having a high success rate, it isn’t 100% effective. There is always a slight risk of pregnancy with any form of contraception.
Can I speak with my assigned clinician at any time?
Of course! Our online platform enables ongoing support whenever you need it. To chat with your medical team, log into your profile, head to the ‘Products’ tab and select ‘Manage Treatment’. This is where you can message your clinician.
