Hormonal contraception refers to birth control methods

that act on the endocrine system.

Almost all methods are composed of steroid hormones.

The oral and injectable methods are by far the most

popular. Altogether, 18% of the world's contraceptive usersrely on hormonal methods.

Users of steroid hormone methods experience pregnancy

rates of less than 1% per year.

Perfect-use pregnancy rates for most hormonal

contraceptives are usually around the 0.3% rate or less.
