What Klys said, plus if there’s no egg, who cares what the lining is like?

Because BABY! And also, slut.

I’ll add a note that it’s mostly the hormonal forms that will thin the uterus lining and prevent ovluation; a copper IUD functions differently (makes the environment toxic to the egg) and is frequently not recommended in cases where a woman already has cramps or heavy periods because it’s known to make these issues worse.

But seriously, sometimes eggs are going to fail to implant anyway. A fertilized egg is not a baby. It is not even a fetus. It needs a little more development to get to that point.

None of that will convince the “life begins at conception” crowd, unfortunately.
