With proper reception regulon ovulation Ovulation - How to determine as accurately as possible?   It does not occur, so pregnancy does not occur.

In regulon there are additional ways to protect against unwanted pregnancy - is increasing under the influence of hormones - progesterone analogues Progesterone - norm and pathology   viscosity mucus, which is in the cervical canal. Through such an obstacle difficult to pass sperm. In addition, under the influence of hormones changes the state of the mucous membrane of the uterus and the fertilized egg is difficult to attach to it.
