The combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) works through several mechanisms to prevent pregnancy:
See less1. Inhibition of Ovulation: The pill contains synthetic estrogen and progestin, which inhibit the release of hormones (FSH and LH) from the pituitary gland.. This suppression prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg.
2. Thickening of Cervical Mucus: Progestin thickens the mucus in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to pass through and reach an egg.
3. Thinning of the Endometrium: The hormones in the pill also thin the lining of the uterus (endometrium), making it less suitable for a fertilized egg to implant and grow.
By combining these mechanisms, the COCP provides effective contraception.
