Can you tell me how ovulation during birth control work?

Most block ovulation: One of the mechanisms of action of hormonal contraceptives (pills, injections, patches , subdermal implants, vaginal rings...) is to block ovulation. Intrauterine contraceptive devices containing copper do not affect ovulation .
