Endocrine system usually uses the negative feed back mechanism. So suppose when thyroid stimulating hormone is released, then thyroid hormones are released. They reduce the secretion of thyroid stimulating hormone. This is how the secretions of the hormones is regulated. In positive feed back mechanism, the level of both the hormones will raise and will create lot of problems.

Uterine contractions are one of the few physiologic process regulated by positive feedback.
Most of the mechanisms in our body are regulated by negative feedback inhibition. In this type of process, the end product shuts off or reduces the intensity of the original stimulus. Production of certain hormones when mother is giving birth to a child is regulated by positive feedback inhibition. In this type of process, response leads to an even greater response.
A positive feedback mechanism is a system the responds to perturbation in the same direction as the perturbation. A positive feedback mechanism allow cells to adapt to changes in their environment rapidly and efficiently. Positive feedback allows cells to reach new levels of equilibrium corresponding to the stimulus in the environment
The hormonal responses are basically responses or reactions given by the hormones. This response is triggered by either negative or positive feedback mechanism. When the hormone level is too low, the gland (usually endocrine) releases the hormones into the bloodstreams where it travels until it reaches the target organ. When there are too much hormones, the gland is triggered to stop the release of hormones. This mechanism of maintaining the balance without giving excess amount of hormone is known as negative feedback. In a positive feedback, the gland is triggered to release more hormones when excess amount of hormones is present.
Oxytocin in the process of giving birth. Oxytocin causes uterine contraction, which causes the baby to push up against the cervix, which causes more oxytocin to be released. And the cycle continues until the baby is born.

No, negative feedback is the primary homeostatic mechanism regulating the endocrine system. Positive feedback is used much less frequently.
That is called positive feedback.
