Answer:

hormonal

Step-by-step explanation:

Hormonal contraception is the most effective short-term contraceptive method and consists essentially of the administration of naturally occurring hormone-like synthetics produced by the ovaries which, among other actions, inhibit pituitary gonadotropin production and, consequently, ovarian follicle maturation and ovulation. Although the hormonal products used have other effects that hinder the conception and eventual uterine implantation of a fertilized egg, this method is based on "misleading" the axis of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
