Hormone in release of egg
Fsh secreted by pituitary gland and egg mature in overy. Stimulates Oestrogen
Oestrogen secreted by ovaries and inhibit production of fsh
Lh stimulates release of egg
Hormone control fertility inhibit Fsh so no eggs mature
Oral contraceptives contain oestrogen and progesterone to inhibit egg mature
Birth control pills contain oestrogen which cause side effects
Much lower oestrogen or only progesterone now leads to fewer side effects
