Question 1

if you forget to take a birth-control pill and the next day take two doses, can the ovulation still occur?

Accepted Answer

Birth control: It is always a good idea to double up a dose if you miss a pill.  Most likely the pill will still be effective that month unless you miss more than two doses in a row.  It is never a bad idea to use back-up contraception for the rest of the month as an extra precaution.

Question 2

if i miss only 1 birth control pill during the 1st week, take all of the 2nd week, will i ovulate during that time? i missed one pill due to surgery.

Accepted Answer

BCP: Usually if u miss one pill, you should take the make up pill as soon as you remember and continue on with your cycle. It is unlikely that you will ovulate, but I would use back up birth control this cycle to be on the safe side.

Question 3

what types of things cause cramping for a woman when not on her period or during ovulation?takes birth control pill thought that should help, but not

Accepted Answer

Other causes: If the cramps are not associated with your period or midcycle when you might be ovulating, you have to consider non-gynecologic causes.  These might involve bowel problems of various sorts and possibly bladder and kidney problems.  Start with your primary care doctor.

Question 4

can you take prometrium 200 mg safely during ovulation phase to be able to get a period with pcos until you reach menopause? i truly do not tolerate the birth control pill?

Accepted Answer

: It is difficult to use "ovulation phase" of a menstrual cycle with documented "PCOS", as ovulation is usually absent.    Prometrium 200mg for 5 days and then stopping will usually precipitate bleeding from degenerating endometrial tissue, which can assist in   prevention of cytologic changes in endometrium which precede endometrial cancer.  Consult your GYN for appropriate intervals.

Question 5

please tell me how long it takes for to start ovulating again after getting off the birth control pill?

Accepted Answer

Usually 2-4 weeks.: The body should resume normal ovulatory function, and production of eggs/cysts right after stopping the pill.  Should get a normal cycle after 2-4 weeks.

Question 6

had sex while on the birth control pill, 2 days later i got clear stretchy mucus like during ovulation. can this occur on the pill without ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The pill works to suppress ovulation, modulate the lining of the inside and thicken the cervical mucous.  Some women will still occasionally ovulate on the pill.  This is probably what happened to explain the clear, stretchy cervical discharge.

Question 7

can doxycycline hyclate 100g and/or spironolactone 100g decrease the effectiveness of birth control pill (junel fe 1.5/30)? i take bc pill daily but had sex without condom (did not finish inside) 2 days after ovulation (had sex on day 16)

Accepted Answer

Yes: Doxycycline can decrease effectiveness of ethinyl estradiol (contained in the Junel fe 1.5. 30).

Question 8

is the birth control pill can stop you ovulate forever?

Accepted Answer

No: Unless you developed menopause while you were on them.

Question 9

is a birth-control pill really enough to stop ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Depends on type: Common birth control pills containing synthetic estrogen and synthetic Progesterone prevents ovulation about 99% in ideal conditions. Progestin only pills (containing only synthetic progestin ) do not stop ovulation.

Question 10
