Question 1

can you have 'ovulation-like' symptoms on birth control pill? slight cramping right side pelvis/discharge. perfect pill user. worried i ovulated.

Accepted Answer

Not ovulation: If you are a "perfect pill user" and taking it everyday then ovulation is extremely unlikely.

Question 2

on birth control, but experiencing ovulation type symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation: Ovulation symptoms can include light spotting, slight abdominal cramping or pain, breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, increased sex drive and heightened sense of smell, taste or vision. BCPs can cause headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, spotting, mood changes, abdominal pain, leg swelling, blurred vision, chest pain.  I suspect your symptoms are due to your pills. See your doctor for exam.

Question 5

i stopped taking my birth control pill 3 days ago. today i had unprotected sex, what is the likely hood of pregnancy? ive been having some ovulation symptoms?

: It is not feasible to give you the odds. Even under the optimal circumstances, sex results in pregnancy about 30% of the time. If you miss your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test, Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
Wish you good health!

feels better.

Question 8

can you ovulate on birth control?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the BC: If you have a hormonal IUD, implant or take the pill properly you don't. If you have a copper IUD, use condoms or miss enough doses of the pill you likely do.

Question 9

do you ovulate after finishing birth control?

Accepted Answer

Generally not: If the birth control pills are working properly, you should not be ovulating after you finish the pack and/or get your period.  There is, of course, a small failure rate with bcp; and if you do not get your period, than you should do a pregnancy test and/or talk to your gyn.

Question 10

how long does it take to ovulate after finishing birth control?

Accepted Answer

Not long: Usually a woman will resume ovulation within 1-3 months of stopping a birth control pill. If it takes much longer than this, you should see your doctor to check for other causes of ovulation problems. One exception to this is that there are some forms of contraception, such as a depo-provera injection, that can have residual effects on ovulation for as long as a year. Good luck!
