I'm taking the birth control pill Ortho Tri Lo and it's about 2 weeks before my period but I had very brief breast tenderness and I thought I had a heightened sense of smell because I could smell a musty towel 10 feet away.

Can you ovulate on the pill or am I just being paranoid?

Technically, yes, you -can- ovulate when you're taking birth control pills, but it's rare.
