A member asked:
Could the pill add hormones or just replace the ones in your body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth control: I assume you are referring to an oral contraceptive. This pill results in a higher female hormone level in your system so that your body stops your ovaries from making eggs or other female hormones.
