A member asked:

Are you still fertile during breakthrough bleeding?

Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

It depends on: when the breakthrough is. The only time you are ever fertile is around ovulation; if you have some breakthrough then you're probably still perfectly fertile. At any other time you' re not fertile anyway, so the bleeding is irrelevant. Hope this helps.
