Before I buy the pill, I wanted to ask @lotus for some information.
On the interwebs I found this: "Desogestrel is a progestin, or a synthetic progestogen, and hence is an agonist of the progesterone receptor, the biological target of progestogens like progesterone"
Does that mean that Desogestrel, which is what is contained in the OTP, mini pill..., will occupy the same receptors as progesterone but will not provide the same effects? Because, if so, it's precisely the opposite of what we want to achieve here.
