Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Oral contraceptives contain a combination of estrogen and progesterone that suppresses ovulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because sperm are distal to the severed vas deferens, sperm will be in the ejaculate for about a month. A sperm count after that period of time should be performed to confirm the absence of sperm. Intercourse does not have to be delayed, but an alternate method of contraception should be used. Erections and sexual pleasure are not affected by a vasectomy.
