Regesterone doe not prevent pregnancy. On taking it before ovulation, ovulation gets delayed but doesn't stop.

Yes the timing of cycle during which regesterone is taken effects the outcome. And taking regesterone before ovulation is sure to reduce the chances of pregnancy.

Regestrone changes the HPO axis activity. So it has a effect to change the time of ovulation.
