- This contraceptive contains two types of female sex hormones, oestrogen and progestogen.
- These hormones stop you getting pregnant by working in three ways:
- by preventing an egg being released from your ovaries; by making the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb; and by preventing the lining of your womb thickening enough for an egg to grow in it.
