A member asked:
Can you still have ovulation symptoms (cramping) while on the pill without actually ovulating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BCP ?'s: Low dose oral contraceptives should be taken punctually (within the hour of having taken the previous day's active pill), or withdrawal cramping may occur, along with spotting on occasion. Ovulation will not occur if the bcp's are taken regularly. If more than seven days pass before starting a new pack, there is a chance ovulation will occur, along with a chance for pregnancy.
