Kariva

Kariva

Kariva is a low-dose combination birth control pill that contains desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol. It works by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining to reduce the chance of pregnancy. In addition to birth control, Kariva can help regulate your period and reduce menstrual cramps. It’s a reliable, affordable option with the same active ingredients as some branded pills — and it ships free if prescribed.

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.
