A member asked:

Do you still get your period if you have not ovulated? if so, how do you tell a difference be anovulatory cycle and ovulating cycle? cycle is 40 days

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If you don't ovulate, you typically don't have a cycle. Having said that, there are instances where a woman will cycle even though she hasn't ovulated. Typically this happens because lining of uterus becomes so heavy/thick with tissue that it sloughs off, though not necessarily in response to hormones as in a normal cycle, but due to anatomy of lining. You can use ovulating prediction kit.
