What are two synthetic hormones that are present in combination hormonal contraceptives?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
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.
