Women take birth control pills to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Birth control pills contain estrogen and progesterone, which are found in the female body. These hormones control the growth and development of eggs in the ovaries of women. There is no fear of becoming pregnant due to the excess of external hormones obtained from the contraceptive pill, which will negatively affect the growth and development of the ovum.
