Like other hormonal BC methods the Birth Control shot uses progestin to keep a woman's ovaries from releasing eggs (called ovulating). If there is no egg to join with sperm, there can be no pregnancy.
The progestin also thickens a woman's cervical mucus, the mucus blocks sperm and keeps it from joining with an egg, if ovulation should occur.
Progestin also thins the lining of the uterus, this could prevent pregnancy by keeping a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus.
