Still ovulating with the pill?

[returnofpiper.livejournal.com]

My body refuses to cycle with the pill. I'm worried I'm still ovulating. I know that's probably not possible, but my body goes through all the signs, cervical fluids, ovarian pain, etc. I've been checked out, I'm healthy. My doc says my body will regulate to the pill. It's been 6 months, and I'm curious. I'm thinking of using the FAM method to see what I come up with, charting temps, fluids, etc., because I think that might tell me if I'm ovulating, and if so, when. Am I completely crazy here? But if my body refuses to cycle with the pill, and it turns out it's not always working, I'm not going to screw up my body taking it anymore.

I actually own that book - I really like it.

I'm a little confused as to whether or not I can use the FAM method and the pill - I'd just like to use FAM to learn a little more about my body - I need the pill for cramps.

Well, I guess I'll just try it out and see what happens.

you can use FAM while on the pill, but since the pill induces a false state of pregnancy, your results probably won't be ones you can compare to non-pill users' results, nor ones you can use for birth control purposes.. that said, I don't know anyone who's charted while on the pill, but it would definitely be interesting to track what's going on!
