What are two synthetic hormones that are present in combination hormonal contraceptives?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

What are the active ingredients in the combined oral contraceptive pill and their mechanisms of action?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How effective is birth control pills against pregnancy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the CDC, the typical failure rate for birth control pills is about 9%, meaning that of 100 women who use that method of contraception for a year, 9 of them will get pregnant anyway.

The theoretical effectiveness is much higher (the failure rate is lower). The 9% figure takes into account that some people don't follow the instructions perfectly and do things like occasionally missing a dose for one reason or another. If you are very careful to never miss a dose and follow all the other directions, then the failure rate is closer to 1 pregnancy per thousand women per year.
