Lymph Nodes

I just started reading TCOYF. WHile reading the part about your lymph node location and how one will enlarge on the side you ovulated from, I tried to feel for mine and the one on my right side feels large.
I am on the pill so I thought I should NOT be ovulating.
THEN.. I know I should never do this because I always get worried... I looked online for reasons other than ovulation why it would be enlarged and I found CANCER, INFECTION, DRUG REACTION, VIRUS.

Re: Lymph Nodes

Don't freak yourself out. You should check for any bumps in the back of your head (it will hurt too) and there is another one right behind your ear behind the lobe part. Are they enlarged??? Then you should check it out.

I got the shingles a few years back and one whole side of my neck, head and ear were really swollen and HURT!

However, if it's just slightly enlarged it could be just a slight infection it is fighting off. Lymph nodes protect your body and it can be enlarged due to something so minor as a ingrown toenail. So please don't stress yourself out too much.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Re: Lymph Nodes

I am talking about the one on my leg near the groin.
It is swollen but doesn't hurt. And I feel fine otherwise.
Maybe I AM ovulating while taking the pill???
