The progestin-only pill (also called the mini-pill) works by thickening the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg. However, it does not always suppress ovulation, so about 40% of women may still ovulate while taking this pill. The other options, combination, triphasic, and estrogen-only pills, all work by suppressing ovulation completely, so they would not meet the criteria of a pill that still allows some women to ovulate.
