I know that it is defintely not a form of birth control but I also know it greatly reduces the chance of pregnancy but I was wondering how it all works. Does it keep you from ovulating or does it thin your uterus lining? I’ve heard so many different answers. Just wondering if anybody knows anything about it. Thank you
