Ok so my girlfriend is on birth control loestrin 24 does that make you ovulate later cause she says it does
Answers: Combined contraceptive pills such as the one she's on (containing both estrogen and progesterone) INHIBIT ovulation (stop it) by tricking the body into thinking the woman's already released an egg that month. This is one of the primary ways it works.
So no, ovulation does NOT occur..
IF the pill is taken properly eg same time everyday for the whole length of her cycle, then no egg is released- your girlfriend wont ovulate.
But, if she forgets to take it, doesnt take it at the same time, is on antibiotics, this decreases the effectiveness of the pill. She could ovulate whilst technically still taking the pill.
If you are trully worried, you can wear condoms even though she is still taking the pill..
What do you mean later?
Later in the month? In her cycle?
Later in her life?
The bottom line (in the long run) is that each woman is born with a certain amount of ova (eggs). When they are gone, she will no longer ovulate. There are times in a woman's life when she may not ovulate. Actively taking birth control pills, pregnancy, nursing and possibly some medications or illnesses. .
No. You don't ovulate at all. you don't ovulate while your on birth control. thats the whole point of it.
