Purpose
This is a randomized, open-label study to evaluate pituitary ovarian suppression in healthy, reproductive-aged women using three different regimens of oral contraceptives (OCs). Two extended regimen OCs, Seasonale (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol 0.15/0.03 mg for 84 days followed by 7 days of placebo), and Seasonique (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol 0.15/0.03 mg for 84 days followed by 7 days of ethinyl estradiol 0.01 mg), and a 28-day regimen OC, Portia (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol 0.15/0.03 mg for 21 days followed by 7 days of placebo).
