ABSTRACT:
A method for contraception which features administering to a patient a contraceptive agent having activin-antagonist activity. The contraceptive agent results in inhibition of the activin-stimulated release of FSH, thereby resulting in a decrease in fertility and facilitating contraception in the patient.
