Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Increased estrogenic activity may include side effects such as cyclic breast changes and chloasma as well as increased dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia. Increased progestin causes decreased libido, weight gain, and fatigue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Progestin alters the quantity and viscosity of cervical mucus, making it thick and hostile to sperm penetration. Estrogen inhibits proliferative and secretory changes in the endometrium. Progestin decreases muscle and ciliary motility and decreases the LH surge.
