A member asked:
Do low dose birth control pills kill fertilized eggs if were to happen? and do regular pills also do that? any that dont?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, they don't: Birth control prevents ovulation from even occuring . If you were to have a fertilized egg then started taking birth control it would not kill it.
