Well, that's not what I've read when I was researching bc options. Most hormonal birth control pills work by suppressing ovulation...and there is only one way to do that: raise the progesterone levels. And while yes, technically, it suppresses ovulation...that's because the body thinks "pregnant" and doesn't ovulate. The thing is, the system isn't very complicated. So even if the goal is to keep ovulation at bay by tricking the body into thinking it's already done so, the end result is still the body thinking it's pregnant. There really isn't any difference between the two.
