The doctors but me on continuous birth control about 2 years ago so I
only have 1 period a years. They did this because my periods are so
painful that I can't even get dressed by myself, I sit to shower, and
get pale and it's just so bad. But, before the period the pain doesn't
get worse, and the pain is different plus worse during it. So,
obviuosly I don't ovulate, but even as a teenager I remember that
ovulating hurt me, on my right side where I now have constant pain. I
am due to have my period in September, but hopefully this surgery will
make it so it's not as bad, I'll have to just see though. But, being on
the CB hasn't helped other than saving me from a horrible monthly cycle.
