Is that true that the pill tricks your body into thinking its pregnant? thats how it works it has hormones in it to trick your body?

Not exactly: The pill exposed your body to a standard level of Estrogen and Progesterone. This triggers your Pituitary gland to stop producing the hormones LH and FSH which typically trigger ovulation.
