What hormone maintains viability of the corpus luteum?
The hormone hCG is produced from the syncytiotrophoblast cells of the developing embryo. This hormone is responsible for maintaining the corpus luteum during pregnancy for 3-4 months so that the corpus luteum continues to produce progesterone. Progesterone is needed to prevent a menstual cycle while pregnant. After 3-4 months, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone.

What are the active ingredients in the combined oral contraceptive pill and their mechanisms of action?
The active ingredients of the combined oral contraceptive pill are estrogen and progesterone. These pills are taken to prevent ovulation to prevent unwanted pregnancies. There is synergism between estrogen and progesterone where estrogen leads to progesterone receptors being upregulated so that they are more sensitive to progesterone. The combined oral contraceptive pill is highly effective. Its effect on preventing ovulation is the greatest. In addition to these effect, it can prevent unwanted pregnancies by thickening the cervical mucus, reducing the transport of the egg and the sperm in the Fallopian tubes, and changing the endometrium so that implantation is less likely to occur.
What does birth control do?
The birth control pill (also called "the Pill") is a daily pill that contains the hormones estrogen and progesterone that prevent pregnancy. Most birth control pills are "combination pills" containing a combination of the hormones estrogen and progesterone to prevent ovulation. A woman cannot get pregnant if she doesn't ovulate because there is no egg to be fertilized. The Pill also works by thickening the mucus around the cervix, which makes it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus and reach any eggs that may have been released. The hormones in the Pill can also sometimes affect the lining of the uterus, making it difficult for an egg to attach to the wall of the uterus. birth control decreases the amount of eggs your body releases therefore reducing risk of pregnancy.helps prevent you from getting pregnant.

What are two synthetic hormones that are present in combination hormonal contraceptives?
Most birth control pills contain synthetic forms of two female hormones: estrogen and progestin. These synthetic hormones stabilize a woman's natural hormone levels, and prevent estrogen from peaking mid-cycle. Without the estrogen bump, the pituitary gland does not release other hormones that normally cause the ovaries to release mature eggs.

Can guys have hormones?
The short answer is yes. A progestin may stimulate weight gain and appetite in men. Progesterone influences spermiogenesis, affects blocking of gonadotropin secretion, improves sleep, and affects certain tumors. In conjunction with estrogen, it may add breast volume. Estrogen may decrease sex drive, reduce or prevent erections, increase breast size, soften the skin, change mental processing (numbers and directions might get fuzzy, though hearing and sociability may improve), and reduce muscle mass.
How do the synthetic estrogen and progesterone in birth control pills prevent pregnancy?
They keep the pituitary from secreting FSH and LH, so ovulation does not occur.
