Yeah, I know all that. :) I've been on birth control for almost two years now. Like I said, I am confident that I am not actually ovulating.. I am just confused by the semi-ovulation-like symptoms. I suppose it could actually be ovulation and I've been relying on my pills being only like.. 80% effective (well.. less effective) for this long. I dunno.
Last time I went in to Planned Parenthood for an exam, I talked to the doctor about it and she told me "probably ovulation!" like it was totally normal, no big deal that my birth control might not be doing its job completely, no need to switch pills.. I was confused, so she explained (very poorly, I had to ask about it here after..) that we still "ovulate" on the pill, but the egg isn't mature. So perhaps that is related to the symptoms..
