The introduction of a number of contraception methods has also lead to the origin of lot of myths surrounding contraception. There are many people who still doubt the effectiveness of various hormonal contraception methods. These myths have been around for many years, and therefore people are still hesitant to rely completely on contraceptive methods.

•  The contraceptive pill becomes effective as soon as you start taking it: If you fail to take the pill on the first day of period, then it usually takes a week for the pill to become effective. You should definitely use other barrier method of birth control during this time.

•  Contraceptive pills cause cancer: This is a common misconception amongst women; however there are some contraceptive pills which actually help in lowering the risk of cancer. Most of the combination pill lowers the risk of both ovarian and uterine cancers. This benefit continues even when you stop taking the pill.

•  Contraceptive intrauterine device (IUDs) causes infertility: If a woman gets infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI), the IUD can encourage it into spread into the uterus and hamper her fertility. However, if a woman does not have STI the IUD cannot interfere in her fertility. IUD is used safely by most people who have been fitted with it.

•  Contraceptives protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Any form of hormonal contraception cannot protect you against sexually transmitted infections. The only contraceptive that can give protection against STIs are condom as it can act as a barrier between the vagina and the bacteria or virus.
