A member asked:
Do breastfeeding and oral contraceptives prevent implantation the same? because of the endometrium not being adequate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Breastfeeding and oral contraceptives (oc) prevent pregnancy in a similar manner, mainly by preventing ovulation. With no ovulation, there is no egg to be fertilized. Thus, the main method of contraception takes place at the level of preventing fertilization rather than preventing implantaion of an embryo.
