Question

Birth Control pills start releasing ____ early in the female cycle ( /- day 9) which stops the release of LH from the Anterior Pituitary. The inhibition of LH around day 15 stops ovulation.

Answer 1

Answer: Progesterone

Explanation: By stopping ovulation , that is, the release of the egg from the ovaries, pregnancy is prevented.

This is because there won't be any egg available for the sperm to fertilise.

It should be noted that this process mimics the body's natural response to pregnancy.
