A member asked:

Ovulating in right ovary. sonographer told me. i switched frm sprintec to natazia (estradiol valerate and dienogest). why am i ovulating? ur not supposed to ovulate on birth control.

Misspoke: The sonographer was probably commenting on the presence of a cyst as on cannot really see ovulation on ultrasound. Cyst are common and not necessarily a problem. Discuss this with your doctor who has more training and likely better information than the sonographer.
