I am on tri-cyclen, and wish to know if i am flushing out fertilized eggs every month. PLease respond to my email account at anonymous@obgyn.net Thank you very much.

Birth control pills are very effective in stopping ovulation, about 97% if taken properly. The other 3 percent, there is a dysfunction of the egg transport into the tube, sperm transport into the tube, and as a failsafe, prevention of implantation, but that is way down on the list of actions
