        Not sure why anyone would troll about something like this

        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.

      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.
