Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormonal methods of contraception, such as the pill, patch, and intrauterine devices (IUDs), primarily work by preventing ovulation, or the release of an egg from the ovaries. They do not typically interfere with implantation, which is the attachment of a fertilized egg to the lining of the uterus. There are other methods of contraception, such as emergency contraception, that can prevent implantation, but these are not considered hormonal methods.
