Do you still get your period if you don't ovulate

[Connie66]

Hi there,

Question. Got my period two weeks ago. Went to the gyno on Feb 19th. Had a day 20 ovulating blood test. Rang Dr yesterday and he said I didn't ovulate.

So my question is if you haven't ovulated, why did I get my period. Do you still get your period if you don't ovulate.

Yes, a woman can have a period without ovulating......women on the pill still get a period yet dont ovulate.....this obv doesnt relate to you, but it could also have something to do with hormone level....its good your seeing someone about it all. GOod luck !!!

Hi Mbear,

Thanks for getting back to me. It's doing my head in.
I had a M/C April last year and we just can't seem to get it right at the moment.

I am getting depressed about it actually. I just wish it was easy to conceive. Hopefully the Gyno will have some magic .

you can definitely still have a "cycle" without ovulating (known as anovulatory cycle) - basically your body goes through all the hormonal fluctuations but no egg is released. they're not that common but they do happen

talk to your gyno about your next steps - if you're not ovulating each cycle, it's going to be damned hard to conceive again! good luck

Yes, I had my period every 28 days and wasn't ovulating.

I was having cycles anywhere from 4 weeks to 7 weeks, always different, and was not O'ing at all. yes its possible. Are you charting? That can give you a bit better idea...
