Q: Ovulation While On Birth Control?
asked by: wfp on March 29th, 2006

Hi everyone, i'm going to try to give as much information as possible in order to get the most reasonable anwsers. My girlfriend takes yasmin birthcontrol and has been doing so for roughly 11 months with no problems. This monday we had sex in the early morning, tuesday her peroid started which is extremely regular, same date every month since taking bc. Tuesday afternoon she got an extremly sharp pain in her lower left side near her ovary. This is the first time this has happened, the gyn doubts it's an ovaultion since she's on bc as well as her peroid. The pain has been constant for about 24 hours now dulling from time to time but never really dieing off. Could she be ovualting on her peroid while on bc or it more likely something else? Any help would be nice, or if more information is needed please ask.

Probably something else..If her gyn said so, then just trust her. B/c stops ovulation so it highly unlikely. Most women get little or no symptoms during ovulation and very very few ovulate during their period...So its probably just cramping. No matter how regular her periods are or how she normally feels during her period, doesn't mean that her body won't just throw in a few curve ball pains everynow and then...

Thanks alot, hearing it from another person makes it seem that much more stable. Would it be common to hurt on just one side however?

Ovulation should be over tomorrow at 5 am if it is that, so we agreed tomorrow if the pain is still there we'll call the gyn back and say its not getting any better, and if its not there, we'll call the gyn to discuss what it could have been.

But thank you again for your insight.

Call the gyno anyway. Sounds like a cyst.

Yes birth control stops ovulation, and most likely this could be a cyst. Cysts are painful, and although birth control makes them better in many women, they are still painful.
