Microgynon 30 is a combined contraceptive pill for women containing two types of female sex hormones, oestrogen and progestogen. In Microgynon 30, these are levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol. If used correctly, the combined contraceptive pill is one of the most reliable and reversible methods of contraception. 

How Microgynon 30 works

Microgynon 30 contains 150mg of the progestogen levonorgestrel and 30mg of the oestrogen ethinylestradiol. These hormones stop you from getting pregnant by preventing the release of an egg from your ovaries; making the fluid in your cervix thicker and therefore more difficult for sperm to get through into the womb; and by preventing the lining of your womb from becoming thick enough for an egg to grow. 

Directions

The recommended dosage for Microgynon 30 is one tablet every day for 21 days, then 7 days without a pill when you reach the end of each strip. A few days into this 7-day break, you should have a withdrawal bleed similar to a period. This bleed may not have finished when the 7 days are over and it’s time to start a new strip of pills, but you should still start the new strip anyway. You don’t need to use extra contraception during these pill-free days. 

Sometimes, Microgynon 30 comes in strips that contain 7 inactive pills. This means you won’t have to stop taking your daily pill but will still have a 7-day break from the hormones. The effect will be exactly the same.
