Q: Birth Control & Ovulation

asked by: DismalEuphoria on January 2nd, 2004

I am on the pill, just recently went back on it about 3 weeks ago. My question is, does ovulation occur at the same time each month no matter what, or does the pill throw it off? Just curious, because after I come off of it, I want to start tracking my fertile days. Do you start to ovulate according to your new cycle with the pill, or does it occur on it's own schedule, as it did before you start taking the pill? Sorry if that sounds silly, but I have to know! Thanks!

Reply Ovulation And the Pill

Your period should go back to normal after you go off the pill, but there is no telling how long that will take. So you may not be able to track your fertility right after you stop taking them. It could be a while.
