Ovulation On Yasmin

It sounds like it is something else. Not ovulation. Has she been to the doctor?

We called the gyn today, she was tied up however so we spoke to a np who assured us she was not ovulating and to wait for the pain to die down.

If it does not die down by friday we were to call to make an appointment.

We agreed however that we're going to call tomorrow instead of friday so she wouldn't have to wait till monday to see a doctor.

What do you think it is? Def not ovulating??

I don't have any idea what it may be. You take birth control so you don't ovulate. Chances of ovulating on your period are slim. Doesn't sound like ovulation.

I agree.

Even if you take your birth control regularly (she takes hers the same hour every night) is there any chance it could have worked for 11 months and suddendly not worked this month because of some other circumstance?

To me, the odds of it just happening, and even during a peroid seem to great to be possible.

:?

We'll start charting from here on, but this is the first time its happened and she's been taking it for 11 months. So could it have worked for 11 months and just stopped?

She says when she woke up today it wasn't really there but it came as the morning progressed, does this have any meaning?

Most likely she has a cyst. Ovulation pain is not that bad hun, if she is in serious pain there is soemthing wrong like perhaps a cyst. I work for planned parenthood and a lot of women we see have cysts. Ovulation is stopped by birth control. She could also be having cramps too.. See a doc again.

It was definitely ovulation.


I'm not a doctor, and I can't diagnose your girlfriend, but I too have extremely bad ovulation pains; when I was in my younger teenage years they would be so excrutiating that I couldn't walk, and one time I blacked out.

I noticed a week or two ago I ovulated for the first time using yasmin in 8 months, and the following week I felt all the side effects I had heard of: crying, irritabiliy, hungry, not hungry, depressed, little interest in anything, no sex drive, suicidal thoughts, wanting to attack anyone in my presence, and moody.


I would not recommend this birth control to anyone. Many people have said that this causes cysts on their ovaries, weight gain (i myself gained 30 lbs, whether due to appetite or water retention, but the pill was the cause considering I was at the same weight for years before starting this pill) and etc.


You can go to the doctor, but I suggest switching brands as soon as possible!

P.S.:

i also noticed that this may be because of daylight savings time. Did she start taking her pill at a different time? I know that I skimped on timing for a good week or two and this could very well be the cause of my own ovulation. Although chances are slim, I know and listen to my body -- I ovulated on yasmin.

You can get ovulation test kits at the store...

But few women ovulate on birth control if they are taking it correctly..You cannot know if you ovulate unless you actually use an ovulation detector kit..I work for planned parenthood I am a healthcare provider..I do know what I am talking about.
