What Is Microgynon 30?

Microgynon 30 is an oral contraception pill. Compared to most contraceptives, the tablet contains fewer estrogen levels. The Microgynon ED has the same properties but comes in a 28-day pack.  You take one pill daily. The last seven tablets don't contain hormones. They help you keep the routine, so you don't forget to take the pills at the beginning of each menstruation cycle.

Description

How Does Microgynon 30 Work?

A woman gets pregnant when an egg from the ovaries gets fertilised by a sperm. Every month during ovulation, an egg is released. Progesterone and estrogen hormones control the process.  Microgynon 30 contains two synthetic hormones, levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol. These hormones hinder ovulation. The pill also thickens the fluid in the cervix to prevent the sperm from reaching the uterus. During menstruation, the uterus walls build up in readiness for fertilisation. Microgynon 30 reduces the buildup, decreasing the chances of the fertilised egg developing into an embryo.
