doctors are still unclear about this
Spanish translation:
los médicos aún no lo tienen claro
English term
doctors are still unclear about this
These have a threefold mode of action. (a) stop the release of the egg by hormonal influence (be) render the mucus in the cervix thick and hostile to the sperm, and (c) make the lining og the womb thin, so that the embryo cannot implant.
[...] The Pill comes in varying doses of oestrogen/progesterone, to help reduce unpleasant side effects on the woman's health (e.g. weight gain, acne, depression, thrombosis), but the degree to which the oestrogen is reduced may mean that the mode of action leans towards mode (c) and therefore being abortifacient (causing abortion). However, ***doctors are still unclear about this***.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Good solution, after all, we are talking about this sort of language: "make the lining of the womb thin".
