The birth control patch is a dermal birth control product that prevents pregnancy by releasing hormones through the skin. The combined ingredients in a birth control patch are estrogens and progesterones, with a direct action on the ovulation. A woman will not ovulate while wearing the patch, which means that no egg will be released in the uterus and the sperm will encounter nothing to fertilize. The birth control patch also acts by thickening the cervical mucus and thus preventing the sperm to reach the eggs.
