Ortho-cept birth control; does it have the same amount of hormones in every pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ortho-cept is a "monophasic" birth control pill. That means all the active pills contain the same amount of hormone. It is a 21-7 pill meaning there are 21 active pills and 7 placebo pills. You would get your period during the placebo pills.
