How does the injection form of birth control work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inhibits ovulation: Most hormonal forms of contraception work by tricking your body into thinking it's pregnant, thereby inhibiting ovulation. Some also thicken cervical mucus thereby making it more difficult for sperm to get by. Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/depo-provera/my00995 for more info.
