    synthetic hormone used in birth control to prevent ovulation

    Desogestrel is a synthetic hormone used in some birth control pills. It mimics the natural hormone progesterone, helping to prevent ovulation and making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus. This hormone is often chosen for its lower risk of side effects compared to other synthetic progestins.
