Birth Control & Contraceptives FAQs

Why is it Important to Use Birth Control?

Using birth control is important because it allows women to prevent unplanned pregnancies and make informed decisions about if and when to have children. This control over reproductive choices supports women in achieving their personal goals.

Beyond pregnancy prevention, birth control can play an important role in managing health conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, irregular periods, and hormonal acne. It can also help manage menstrual symptoms such as severe cramps or heavy bleeding. If you have any concerns over your health, a GP can help identify underlying causes behind your symptoms and offer treatment options to you.

How do I know which birth control pill is right for me?

Choosing the appropriate birth control pill depends on various factors, including your health history, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Our online assessment evaluates these aspects to recommend options tailored to your needs. It's essential to consider factors like your medical history, any existing health conditions, and how often you have sex when selecting a contraceptive method.

What is Hormonal Birth Control?

Hormonal birth control refers to methods of contraception that use hormones to prevent pregnancy. These hormones typically include estrogen and progestin, which work by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the uterine lining to prevent implantation.

What are Contraceptive Pills?

Contraceptive pills, often called "the pill," are a type of hormonal birth control taken orally. They usually contain a combination of estrogen and progestin or just progestin alone. When taken correctly, they are highly effective at preventing pregnancy and may also help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce acne, and manage hormonal conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

What are Contraceptive Hormones and How Do They Work?

Contraceptive hormones are synthetic[1] versions of the body’s natural reproductive hormones, such as estrogen and progestin. They help prevent pregnancy mainly by:

  • Stopping ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary)
  • Thickening cervical mucus to hinder sperm movement
  • Thinning the uterine lining to make it less suitable for implantation

How Does Personalised Hormonal Healthcare Benefit Women?

Personalised hormonal healthcare considers a woman’s unique biology, health history, lifestyle, and hormone profile to tailor contraceptive and hormonal treatment. This can lead to fewer side effects, improving mood and wellbeing.

What Does Tuune Service Offer?

Tuune offers science-backed, personalised hormonal healthcare for women, with a focus on finding the right birth control. The service includes:

  • A comprehensive hormone and health assessment
  • Access to advanced hormone testing
  • AI-driven analysis to recommend the most suitable birth control
  • Ongoing support from expert clinicians
  • Insights into hormone-related symptoms such as mood, skin, and cycle irregularities

What Are The Side Effects Of Contraceptive Pills?

Contraceptive pills are generally safe for most people, but with any medication, they can cause side effects.

Side effects vary from person to person and often settle after the first few months. Common side effects include:

  • Nausea
  • Headaches
  • Breast tenderness
  • Mood changes or low mood
  • Spotting or irregular bleeding between periods
  • Changes in libido
  • Weight fluctuations (though evidence is limited)

If these side effects are causing you problems and impacting your daily routine, you may benefit from looking into alternative contraceptive methods. The Tuune contraceptive service can help you identify alternatives, simply share your concerns and current contraceptive method for the service to recommend other options that could be more suitable for you.

Could my current health issues be related to my birth control pill?

Some health issues may be linked to oral contraceptive use. If you're experiencing new or unusual symptoms, our assessment can help determine if they might be related to your current birth control and suggest alternative options if necessary.​

Is it normal to experience mood changes while on the pill?

Some individuals may experience mood changes when using hormonal contraceptives. While research is ongoing, it's important to monitor your mental health and discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.

Can the pill affect my weight?

Studies have shown no significant evidence that combination hormonal contraceptives cause substantial weight gain. However, individual responses can vary. If you have concerns about weight changes, our assessment can help explore suitable contraceptive options.

What should I do if I miss a pill?

If you miss a dose, refer to the instructions provided with your medication, as guidance can vary depending on the type of pill. Generally, taking the missed pill as soon as you remember and then continuing with your regular schedule is recommended. Use backup contraception if advised.

How does the Tuune online assessment work?

Our online assessment involves a series of questions about your health history, current contraceptive use, and any side effects you're experiencing. Based on your responses, we provide personalised recommendations and can facilitate prescriptions through our partnered healthcare providers.

Is my information secure?
