Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the effects of progestin in Contraceptive Oral Contraceptives (COCs) and how it influences hormone suppression, as well as advantages of various contraceptive methods and health benefits related to family planning. We need to identify the correct answers based on knowledge of reproductive health.

More Information

The progestin in combined oral contraceptives (COCs) primarily suppresses GnRH, which in turn influences the levels of other hormones involved in the ovulation process, thus preventing pregnancy.

Tips

A common mistake is confusing the different hormonal mechanisms and their effects on hormone levels. Carefully review how progestin and estrogen components work in contraceptives.
