Contraceptives, Oral

Study to investigate the effect of missed pills on follicular development in two application regimens of SH T 00186 D

Trial purpose

In this study a comparison was made on the influence of missing pills on follicular ripening. By missing a given number of pills, an effect on "contraceptive robustness" of the two investigated contraceptive pills was measured by ultrasound comparison of follicular size and other parameters which indicate how far ovulation might be.
