Which outcome occurs when synthetic progestin is administered?

💡 Explanation

Administration of synthetic progestin causes suppression of ovulation via negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary, because this decreases GnRH, LH, and FSH secretion. Therefore, ovulation is inhibited, rather than stimulating of the hormones or lactation production.
