The pill is one of the most common contraceptives. The hormones in the pill make sure that no eggs are released, and they make the mucus in the cervix stiffer, so that sperm cells will have more difficulty penetrating it. Aside from that, a fertilised egg will have more difficulty implanting itself in the uterine wall.
