A member asked:
Can it be possible for you to ovulate without getting periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: If you are ovulating you will get a menses. A menses (period) happens when a woman's progesterone levels drop. Progesterone only comes from an empty follicle (A follicle that released an egg). Therefore, you have to ovulate to create the empty follicle (corpus luteum), that will produce the progesterone. Unless you get pregnant, this will cause a menses in 12-14 days later.
