Ovulation

I am on Yasmin birth control. I have been using it for a year now, should I still be ovulating? Or does Yasmin not stop the ovulation, but stop the sperm getting to the egg?

Hi. I was on Yasmin three years, after that I was on Zoladex and now I am on Yasmin again. I don't know for sure, but I think that Yasmin prevents ovulation and it makes harder for sperm to reach uterus (it is harder for the fertilized egg to attach to the uterus). I have read this: The primary mechanism of Yasmin is inhibition of ovulation. Other alterations include changes in the cervical mucus (which increases the difficulty of sperm entryinto the uterus) ant the endometrium (which reduces the likelihood of implantation). I hope that some of this informations will give you the answers that you need! Take care.
