Mmmmm, you start using birth control pills much before you are even thinking about having children because birth control pills are used to avoid pregnancy and not maintain.

They contain hormones that trick your body into thinking that you are pregnant, so that your ovaries wouldn’t produce any eggs for fertilizations. When you don’t produce eggs you can have unprotected sex as much as you want and not worry you will get pregnant. Birth control pills are used if you are having sex just with one man……if you have multiple partners, you would need to use a condom to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases.

In order to work, birth control pills must be taken every day at the same time (+-3 hours). Only then will they prevent pregnancy. There are other things birth control pills do to prevent pregnancy.
They thicken cervical mucus in order to prevent sperm from entering the uterus and fallopian tubes in case an egg is released and they also thin the uterus lining, so that if it happens that the released egg is fertilized, that it cannot crawl up into the uterus lining.
