A drug delivery system consisting of one or more compartments and comprising a progestogenic compound dissolved in a thermoplastic polyethylene vinylacetate copolymer whereby, if the delivery system consists of one compartment, the compartment comprises (i) a core of a thermoplastic polyethylene vinylacetate copolymer comprising the progestogenic compound, such progestogenic compound being dissolved in the polyethylene vinylacetate copolymer up to a concentration below the saturation level at 25° C., and an estrogenic compound; and (ii) a skin of a thermoplastic polyethylene vinylacetate copolymer covering the core, said skin being permeable for both compounds; if the delivery system consists of more than one compartment, only one compartment comprises (iii) the progestogenic compound, such progestogenic compound being dissolved in a core of a thermoplastic polyethylene vinylacetate copolymer up to a concentration below the saturation level at 25° C., and an estrogenic compound; and (iv) a skin of a thermoplastic polyethylene vinylacetate copolymer covering the core, said skin being permeable for both compounds.
