Which contraceptive methods are classified as hormonal birth control
Feliz [49]
All of them except condoms. Everything you take orally gives you hormones such as progesterone and estrogen to fool your body into thinking you’re pregnant so you won’t produce an egg that month. Other methods such as the ring and patch do the same, just not through direct ingestion.
