A member asked:
If there is no ovulation, if a sperm is "waiting" that day, where he would be waiting? contraceptives eggs can destroy this before ovulation?

CONFUSION: Your question indicates some confusion over the effect of the pill or pills. The packet of pills works by tricking your body into thinking it is already pregnant, so no ovulation occurs, then the dummy pills let menses occur, before starting the trick again.Sperm wait wherever they swim to, including the Fallopian tubes,but die after a few days.Contraceptives don't kill sperm or eggs.
