Ovulation cramps? Wuts goin on??

Question

I've feeling some period-like cramps on my right side...the pain kinda travels to my knees..i got off my period Aug. 3 (bout a week and a half ago) and I've been on yaz for about 5 months..but since school is about i havent been taking my yaz at the exact time. Could this be ovulation cramps? Is it possible to still ovulate on birth control? I noticed some white discharge for the past 2 days. Any answers would be appreciated..no rude or stupid comments! Tnx in advance!

Btw..i took a blood pregnancy test about a week ago which came back negative so i dont think its that

Answer 1

Abdominal/pelvic pain that is similar to that of period cramping may indicate a problem in a reproductive organ (like the pain around your ovaries or uterus).

This includes conditions such as endometriosis (when tissue from the uterus is displaced to somewhere else like the pelvic wall or ovaries), uterine fibroids (thick bands of muscular and fibrous tissue in the uterus), ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer (rare), or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) infection of the reproductive organs, usually from a sexually transmitted disease.

If you have pain in your ovary area, you might have an ovarian cyst. I have experienced that same type of pain whenever I have had an ovarian cyst.  I was also diagnosed with endometriosis last year which caused me severe pelvic pain and intense and painful period cramping.

Based on your symptoms and what you wrote, I would recommend that you should see your doctor/gynaecologist, just to rule out any serious causes.

Good luck :)

1) You need to be taking your pill at the same time EVERYDAY or it may not work.

2) Many birthcontrol pills, including YAZ inhibit ovulation and inplantation. Inhibit does not mean PREVENT. If you have been messing around with the timing of your pills, you could have indeed ovulated  this month. Use a back up birth control this month and start fresh with your new pack next month and take them correctly if you want them to work.
