Protection against getting pregnant, with minimal fuss. That’s what you get with combined pills like Isibloom. It’s a once-daily pill you take for 28 days before starting a new pack.
You know what makes birth control even less fussy? Getting it delivered to your door, by subscription, from a US pharmacy. Or, a quicker way of saying that: getting it from EveAdam.
Take a consultation to see what our prescriber thinks is the best pill for you. Then choose from the suggestions and set your schedule. You’ll get your first delivery in 2-5 working days, and follow-up deliveries when you need them.
A combined pill packing two hormones that help stop you getting pregnant. They do this by fooling the body into thinking it’s already ovulated, so it doesn’t ovulate. These hormones also change the texture of the uterine wall, so any stray fertilized eggs can’t catch on there and develop. They also alter the consistency of the mucus that’s released in the cervix so sperm can’t shoot through.
So two hormones, doing three jobs.
Some women also take combined pills like Isibloom for acne, as a kind of secondary reason (in addition to preventing pregnancy).
Over 99%. We know, over 99% should technically be 100%. But it’s only “over 99%” because it’s somewhere between 99 and 100. This means that out of 100 women taking the pill, over a year, fewer than one will get pregnant.
That’s with perfect use by the way. So taking it every day, like you’re supposed to, and not making any mistakes. Making the occasional error when taking the pill reduces this rate of effectiveness a little, to around 91%. So it’s best to take it like it says.
Just the one. It’s a pretty common formulation you can get in other pills. If you want to switch doses, you’ll need to move on to a different pill, because there’s no Isibloom Lo.
Viorele, Velivet and Mercette are very like Isibloom, only with less estrogen. So if you get side effects like vaginal dryness, mood swings or low sex drive, you might be better on a lower estrogen dose. The licensed doctor can help you find the right pill during your consultation.
Contraception primarily. It’s very effective at this (over 99% when taken right). It’s quite flexible in that, compared to other forms of birth control, it’s both reliable and reversible. So you can stop taking Isibloom any time to start trying for a baby.
It may also help to reduce the symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and treat acne.
Isibloom is a 28-day pill. You’ll take one active pill, once a day, at the same time, for 21 days continuously. Then you have seven days of inactive pills, move onto the next pack and repeat.
It’s best to work taking the pill into your routine, so you’re less likely to forget it. For example, you might take it before going to bed, or before you brush your teeth in the morning. Just make sure you pick a time that works for all seven days of the week.
It’s rare that serious side effects occur on the combined pill. But it’s still important to be mindful of these and get help if you notice anything unusual.
