My doctor also explained that birth control pills "trick the body into thinking it is pregnant." She explained that women do not

A pregnant woman does not ovulate, or release eggs during pregnancy, because humans cannot get pregnant while they are already pregnant. This allows "the pill" to work, because if no eggs are released, they cannot be fertilized, and you cannot become pregnant.
