There have been a couple of articles here that state that the pill
does not prevent development or fertilization of an egg, but only
prevents a zygote from implanting in the uterus. I don't know where
these people get their pills or what their pills are made of; I
never heard of such a pill. The common birth control pill of estrogen
and progesterone and even the mini pill PREVENTS development of the
egg in the first place. No egg, no fertilization, no zygote to implant.

The endocrine feedback system from ovary to pituitary is 'fooled'; the
presence of estrogen prevent the pituitary from producing lutenizing
hormone and the presence of progesterone prevents the pituitary from
producing Follicle Stimulating Hormone that causes an egg to develop.

Where did this other view develop?
