Estrogen in contraceptive pills primarily works by inhibiting ovulation, which means it prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs. It also thickens cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus and reach any potential eggs. Additionally, estrogen alters the uterine lining, making it less suitable for implantation should fertilization occur. Collectively, these effects effectively reduce fertility.
