A member asked:

Can going off birth control keep you bloated with a hard belly for over a week? been off a month, 4 negative hpt's. no sex since early november.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovulation: One of the ways birth control (oral contraceptives and some other forms) works is by suppressing ovulation. Now that you are off birth control, you may be having symptoms of ovulation.
