If you only have pain around the time of your period you shouldn't need an ultrasound. Now if you have pain at other times ie. around ovulation, you might have cysts on your ovaries that an ultrasound would show. I had severe endometriosis with very severe periods. The ultrasound showed fluid in my abdomen and then at different times the ultrasounds would show cysts on my ovaries but not always. You can give the pills a try for a few months and see if that helps. If it doesn't then request the ultrasound. Just my two cents.

I was on the pill for 5 years and i never took the pill on time once I only remembered to take 7 pills the whole month. I asked my doctor and she said that if you miss pills or take them late the birth control will do a pretty good job on backing you up. But I guess it all depends how long you've been on the pill. I think your best bet would to be to get off the pills all together if you want to conceive but it could happen I've heard stoies of ppl getting pregnant on the pill. Good Luck:)

When you're doctor gave you your birth control, she was more than likely trying to control the pain. Typically, if it's endometriosis, all the way to polycystic ovarian syndrome, there is a birth control that can somewhat control the issue or the symptoms thereof. I'm wondering how old you are? If you're sexually active? If your periods have always been painful? If this is an extreme change in your body, relay your concerns about that to your doctor. Ask him/her to do a little more digging. But try the birth control in the meantime, and see if it helps. It should help regulate you and help in decreasing the pain. Good luck with it~

Wow. I'm sorry to hear you have pain. You can get an ultrasound if you like, but I'd recommend that you go to an Ayurvedic practitioner as well. He or she can help you with natural herbs and diet so that the pain all but disappears. I've seen it happen with myself and several of my girlfriends. You can find a local practitioner via the California College of Ayurveda in Grass Valley, CA. Good luck.

I don't know what good an ultrasound would do...
I'd try the bc first and then try something else. It's a very common solution for painful or irregular periods.

you'd only need an ultra sound if your tummy was painful to touch as well as the cramping, but for peace of mind go get a 2nd opinion, i would!
