Re: celiacp's answer, progestin is preferable. "Progestagen" comprises both progestins (synthetic progestagens) and progesterone, a (the only, actually) natural progestagen. "Progestin" on the other hand refers ONLY to synthetic progestagens.

Just because a mistake is common does not make it correct:
Results 1 - 10 of about 692 for "progestin contraceptives".
Results 1 - 10 of about 119 for "progestagen contraceptives".
i.e. 5.8 references to "progestin" to every one for "progestagen"
Results 1 - 10 of about 250,000 for progestin contraceptives
Results 1 - 10 of about 15,000 for progestagen contraceptives
i.e. "progestin" references outnumber "progestagen" sixteen-to-one.

See above. They are wrong, just like saying "familiar planning" instead of "family planning" is wrong.
