Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestin, and ethinylestradiol is a synthetic estrogen.
How it works:
Stopping ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries)
Making the cervical mucus thicker, which makes it tougher for sperm to get to the egg
Changing the lining of the uterus makes it less likely for implantation to happen if fertilization does happen.

A: For full contraceptive protection, you usually need to use it for 7 days in a row. During this time, you should use backup techniques.
Q4: Can it help with acne or getting your period on time?
A: Yes, it may help some women control their periods and get rid of acne, but only under the care of a doctor.
Q5: Do you need to keep an eye on things?
A: It's a good idea to get regular checkups to keep an eye on your blood pressure and overall health, especially if you're a woman who is at risk for blood clots.
