    What are the most popular pills out there?  What did your doctor prescribe?  How has it been working for you so far?

    As a pharmacist i felt obligated to answer to this question:) There is no such thing as "the most popular pill". It depends on person's age, weight, medical history etc. So a good doctor will evaluate your history before prescribing something. And if you are over 35- then it's actually not recommended to be on a pill. However, many people still do.
    Hope it helps:)) Cheers.

    Thanks so much for your professional feedback.  It got me thinking when you said that pills are discouraged at or after age 35?  Why?

    I think the most popular contraceptive pills is the hormonal contraceptives pills. This pill work to inhibit the body's natural cyclical hormones to prevent pregnancy. But the best bet that you can do is to consult to your doctor because he should know what the best pills is for you.

    The pill is discouraged after age 35 as it is believed that women's risk factors for things such as cancer go up after a woman's 35th birthday.  Women over 35 are also believed to be at higher risk for complications in pregnancy such as Down's Syndrome.
