I thought you were trolling at first, but nope, this is legit.

Not sure why anyone would troll about something like this, but also never trust random people on the internet, especially on medical advice, so.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for adding sources

This and your other comments in this thread make me concerned for you. There are a LOT of real, actual, existing human beings that delusionally think that tricking someone into pregnancy against their will is a morally victorious action, by any means necessary. They don’t concern themselves with such pleasantries as “good faith” statements. They are a minority of people, but not by much. Please look after yourself and don’t underestimate the evil that organized religion is capable of.
Except this post is literally the opposite of trying to trick someone in to getting pregnant.
Maybe keep your concern, and instead invest the energy in better reading comprehension?
The article you link to does not show any effect of activated charcoal on ovulation in women who use oral contraceptives. Not saying it's a good idea to eat charcoal, but the study didn't find an effect.
Why would it have an effect on ovulation? People are saying that the charcoal prevents the body from absorbing the pill. It's also why it's used in certain cases of poisoning.
Yes, and the pill stops ovulation. So if there's no uptake of the pill, a woman will most likely ovulate. Ovulation is what was measured in the study.
Activate charcoal is very common medicine to fight gas and/or mild intestinal discomfort. Very effective when my farts become too noxious and I need to debloat....
Was it TMI..?
