Best Answer

Progestin is an artificial progesterone, which is the pregnancy hormone produced by the corpus luteum during luteal phase of the ovulation cycle. When progestins are introduced to a female body they arrest the ovulatory cycle at the beginning of the follicular phase, preventing ovulation. Basically, it makes your body think your pregnant.
