No, they prevent your body from releasing an egg, therefore making you infertile for that cycle. The pill is a good and reliable choice if you get in the habit of remembering it EVERY DAY. It makes your period very predictable, and can regulate your PMS and other hormonal issues. Plus, long term use lessens your chance of breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Just remember, the pill won't protect you from STDs, so make sure your partner is clean or use a condom to protect yourself.

Birth control pills don't kill sperm. You'd have to insert them vaginally rather than swallow them if they worked that way. (And in fact, there are several spermicidal contraceptives which work that way - foam, jelly, concentrated inserts, etc.)

Birth control pills play with the female reproductive hormones and trick a woman's body into thinking it has already ovulated. It is for this reason that it's critical to take a pill every day and never miss more than one day in a row (if that!) - if you go too long between remembering to take the pills, your hormones will drop back down to "oh crap, haven't released an egg yet, better do that!" levels.

I love the pill now that I have found a formulation that works well for me - I was taking one of the popular brands and it made my breasts too tender. My husband loves the fact that I'm on the pill, but I am zealous enough about not wanting children that I will still make him use condoms during the week in which I would have ovulated - just in case!

The birth control pill is designed to prevent ovulation first and foremost and does not kill sperm. It is however an abortifacient, which means if you were to conceive on the pill, the lining of the uterus is made very thins and smooth making it difficult for the zygote (early stage pregnancy) to implant which causes it to be expelled during the menstrual cycle.
A doctor or qualified health provider should be consulted prior to taking the pill in order to determine if it is right for you. Like anything, it has it's pro's and con's. See your doctor and have all of your questions and concerns written down.

Birthcontrol pills do not kill sperm. It works primarily by preventing ovulation and I personally think it is great.

birth control pills do not kill sperm. i read that they make your body think that you are pregnant so that an egg doesn't get fertilized. i am not crazy about taking the pill i always forgot to take them. i really like the patch, but they have taken that off the market because of health risks. if you are trying to decide on a method of birth control you should speak to your gynecologist about what would be best for you.

No. They prevent ovulation when taken properly. I think it's a safe and effective means of preventing unwanted pregnancies but doesn't do anything to stop the stpread of std's.
