How does progesterone play a role in a feedback mechanism?
"The corpus luteum synthesizes progesterone, estradiol, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone. The increased progesterone levels affect the thermoregulatory site in the hypothalamus and increase the core body temperature. Negative feedback from the increased release of estradiol and progesterone from the corpus luteum results in decreased serum LH and FSH levels in the luteal phase. If conception has not occurred, FSH levels increase again at the end of the luteal phase as the progesterone and estradiol levels decrease. The decrease in progesterone and estradiol levels results in shedding of the endometrium-i.e., menstruation. LH pulse frequency is high (90 minutes) and of low amplitude in the follicular phase. The pulse frequency and amplitude increase immediately before ovulation".

How does the birth control pill work?
Birth control pills work by giving your body additional estrogen and progesterone, at different amounts during the month. This increase in estrogen and progesterone works via a negative feedback loop; in other words, it tells your body that there is a lot of estrogen and progesterone and therefore it needs to shut off the pathways that produce that estrogen and progesterone. To do this, the body lowers the amount of another hormone, FSH. This hormone, also known as follicle-stimulating hormone, not only affects the release of estrogen and progesterone, but also is necessary for follicle development. Birth control pills decrease the amount of FSH, making it impossible for your follicles to develop. Consequently, these follicles can never mature and release the egg.
