Hey girls! I’m still pretty new at being sexually active and I had sex for the first time without any pain last week, yay! I feel paranoid even though I have no reason to be as I take the pill every day, and haven’t been ill. Is there a reason why my ovaries are hurting? It feels like cramps, but I know it can’t be anything period related because I take my pills and have been a perfect user. Any suggestions on what it could be? I don’t feel itchy down there or anything. I had some discharge but I saw in other posts that it’s normal after sex to have that and even sometimes to have discharge on the pill. Pls help! I am not trying to be crazy and think I’m pregnant again, when I’m taking the pills right. God knows I’m a paranoid mess and I don’t have money to keep my mind at ease with buying tests 😂

I’ve never had a uti or anything so I am really at a loss as to what it could be. Please share your experience 😭

Cramps are a side effect at birth control. Also, discharge is always normal, it’s how your vagina cleans itself. There’s nothing abnormal here.

There’s no reason for you to worry. Cramps are normal when you’re taking the pill. You say you took all your pills correctly, so you’re fine.

Ahhh okay thank you! I thought cramps would go away and felt it was weird that i still had them. I thought maybe I had an infection or something

You can have cramps anytime while on the pill. There’s different side effects of the pill and they’re listed in your pamphlet.
