Is continuous birth control method a powerful way to prevent pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Birth control pills are an excellent way to prevent pregnancy. They are, however, not 100% and they do not protect you against std's. Taking them in a continuous fashion does not make them more effective.
