When used correctly, Femcon Fe is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. How does it work? In order to become pregnant, a woman's body undergoes certain changes, including ovulation - the maturation and release of an egg. Birth control pills, such as Femcon Fe, contain hormones that suppress these changes, thus preventing pregnancy.
