A member asked:
What is ovulation breakthrough bleeding? and why/how does it occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incorrect term: The term is breakthrough bleeding. This is irregular bleeding that occurs exclusively in women on birth control. It just refers to bleed at the wrong time as a side effect of the hormones. One does not ovulate when on birth control.
