Desogen

Desogen

Desogen is a combination birth control pill that contains ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel. It prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation and altering the cervical mucus and uterine lining. In addition to contraception, Desogen can help regulate periods, reduce menstrual cramps, and improve acne for some users. As a trusted option, Desogen provides reliable protection when taken daily as prescribed.
How does Desogen compare to other birth control pills?
Desogen is similar to other combination pills but contains desogestrel, a progestin that may cause fewer side effects for some users, such as less water retention or mood swings.
Many users find that Desogen helps reduce acne due to its hormonal balance, but results can vary. It’s often prescribed for those who need both contraception and acne treatment.
If you start Desogen on the first day of your period, it is effective immediately. If you begin at any other time, use backup protection (like condoms) for the first 7 days.

Answers to your birth control questions

Can Reversible Birth Control Impact Future Fertility?
Reversible methods like the pill, patch, or IUD are designed to prevent pregnancy temporarily — not permanently. Once you stop using them, your fertility typically returns to what’s normal for you. Most people can begin trying to conceive shortly after stopping birth control.
