"if fertilization does occur the pills prevent the fertilized egg from implanting."


Huh? Unbelievable. If that was the case, then BC pills would be "100% fool-proof" for getting pregnant, per se, not just 99%.

I know.
What the doctor told me was that the pill was to prevent ovulation but if the egg is fertilized that it was very unlikely that the the fertilize egg would implant.
I was so shocked. My doctor at that time was pro life and told all her patience this information so they could decide for themselves what to do. She said many people did not think it was such a big deal because it was so early and rare.
I actual got pregnant while taking the pill. I grieve to this day and was sickened that there may have been other times that I was pregnant and that the fertilize egg did not implant.
When I found this out I stopped that day taking the pill.

Nothing will ever be foolproof that can be rendered ineffective by forgetting a couple of pills, taking antibiotics, or drinking grapefruit juice.

It could be that the pills are 98% effective only BECAUSE they can also hinder implantation.
