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.
