A member asked:
Is a birth-control pill really enough to stop ovulation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type: Common birth control pills containing synthetic estrogen and synthetic Progesterone prevents ovulation about 99% in ideal conditions. Progestin only pills (containing only synthetic progestin ) do not stop ovulation.
