You ovulate befrore you period starts. Ovulation is when the egg drops from the ovary and goes down the tube. Your period is when your body sheds the egg and the extra linging it has built in the uterus. You have to ovulate to have a period. Unless you are using a hormonal Birth Control

No, you don't necessarily ovulate just because you have your period.

NO you do indeed ovulate every month just not on the same side.... as you know you have two ovaries one on the left and one on the right now every other month they switch so say January the left releases an egg and february the right releases an egg and so on so while the same ovary doesn't release an egg every month there is still an egg released....hope this answers your ? Good Luck and God Bless!!!

You will not have a period if you do not ovulate. Therefore I can say that you are definitely ovulating if you get a period every month. As to how "normal" you ovulation is, you cannot tell without invasive surgery. Most women do not find out that they are ovulating abnormally until they have trouble conceiving or trouble with constant miscarriages. The chances are that you are normal. Don't stress about it! For the most part, yes. Occasionally you may have cycles where you get your period but haven't ovulated. That's fairly normal and might only occur once a year. Sourece: http://wish2conceive.com

Generally...if you are not having a period, you are also not ovulating regularly. Irregular periods are different. With Irregular periods, you do ovulate, however it is hard to predict because of the infrequency of the period. Very few women of child bearing age get NO period at all. In most cases, the period is just very irregular. http://wish2conceive.com Hello. This is difficult to answer. Some women continue to ovulate monthly or un-regularaly when they dont receive their regular monthly period while others dont ovulate unless they receive a period. The only way to tell if by seeing your doctor for a blood test to check if you are ovulating or by buying a ovulation predictor kit.

Yes first you must find out how many days your cycles are...from start of one to start of another....usually 28 days...if it is a normal 28 day cycle then you ovulation 15 days from the start of your last period

Yes, and no.

Menstruation is a specific process that will only occur if you are ovulating - thus if you are menstruating monthly you are ovulating monthly, so the answer here would be yes. However not all vaginal bleeding is menstruation, if there is a hormonal imbalance you could be skipping ovulation and the bleeding may be due to the uterine lining still building-up and then shedding when it can no longer support itself. Without using FAM, ovulation testing, or getting pregnant there's no way to tell.

No. Women using birth control pills do not ovulate, yet they usually have regular periods. Most likely you are ovulating; however the one does not necessarily indicate the other.

How do you know if your done ovulating at age 55?

no period or spotting every few months.or ask your doctor to do a fertility test. That will tell you how many eggs are left and will give you an idea if your done ovulating or not...


How do you know when you are ovulating without taking an ovulation test?

A woman ovulates half-way through her cycle. For example, if your cycle is every 28 days (meaning if you start your period every 28 days), then two weeks (14 days) after you started your period would be when you are ovulating. If your cycle is 32 days, then you would be ovulating 16 days after you began your period. You may also experience mild cramping (sort of like the ending of your period) and a discharge with no odor, which is normal. Some women tend to have a higher and longer sex drive around the ovulating time. Try not to wear a pantyliner since it can increase the possibility of bacteria or yeast infections.

Do women without cycles still ovulate if so is it monthly?

No. If you are not ovulating, you will not experience a period. A period only occurs after you have ovulated and the egg was not fertilised. Hello. This is difficult to say. Some women with very irregular cycles ovulate every month while others ovulate spontaneously. The only way to tell if you are ovulating is by having a ovulation blood test at your doctors and by buying ovulation predictor kits.

Is it possible for a girl to get pregnant even if she used the bathroom afterwards if she wee 14?

Going to the bathroom after sex has NOTHING to do with your chances of getting pregnant..birth control and other forms of protection are necessary and even then nothing is guaranteed to work 100%..and ANY girl can get pregnant, no matter her age, if she is healthy and ovulating (meaning if she gets a period every month)

If you normally get sore breasts from ovulation to menstruation would NOT getting them one month be a sign of pregnancy?

Hello - Its very difficult to say. Personally I would think its slightly possible but not very likely. Every month a womans breast changes especially during her period hen her body is producing progesterone to start a period. Wait until your period arrives. If it doesnt - do a test. :o)
