Description
What Is Noriday?
Noriday is a contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. It only has progesterone as opposed to combined contraceptive pills that have both progesterone and oestrogen. As a result, Noriday is recommended for women who can’t take pills that have oestrogen in them. Noriday is highly effective as it has over 99% chance of success. However, it does not protect you from Sexually Transmitted Infections. This means that you still need to use a condom to be protected from STIs.
How Does it Work?
Pregnancy requires both an egg and a sperm. These eggs are released from a woman’s ovary after which it is fertilized by a male sperm. Noriday works by thickening a woman’s cervical mucus, making it hard for sperms to penetrate into the womb. This means that these sperms are unable to reach the eggs and fertilize them. This pill also helps to prevent ovulation even though it is not as effective at this when compared to combined contraceptive pills.
