Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Estetrol/Drospirenone inhibit ovulation in quick-starting method. It will also learn about the safety of Estetrol/Drospirenone. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does Estradiol valerate/Dienogest inhibit ovulation inferior to Ethinyl estradiol/Gestodene when starting on Day 7-9 of menstrual cycle? What are the impacts of Estradiol valerate/Dienogest on ovarian activities when starting on Day 7-9 of menstrual cycle? How does the cervical mucus change when starting Estradiol valerate/Dienogest on Day 7-9 of menstrual cycle? What are the adverse effects when starting Estradiol valerate/Dienogest on Day 7-9 of menstrual cycle? Researchers will compare Estradiol valerate/Dienogest to Ethinyl estradiol/Gestodene to see if Estradiol valerate/Dienogest inhibit ovulation in quick-starting method.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Take Estradiol valerate/Dienogest or Ethinyl estradiol/Gestodene starting on day 7-9 of menstrual cycle then every day for 1 pack of the pills.

Visit the clinic on day 1-2, day 7-9, and then every 2-7 days according to ultrasound finding (ovarian activities) until completing of pills to investigate

* Transvaginal ultrasound
* Cervical mucus
* Serum hormonal profiles.
