A member asked:

Can you explain if it's possible to ovulate after missing a period?

Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Yes certainly: Unless you are in menopause (or are pregnant) you will ovulate again after a missed period, that's how you'll get your next period. It may be difficult to tell when to expect that ovulation; generally waiting for a second missed period is okay before getting help.
