A member asked:
If you were to ovulate on the pill how would you know when you would be most fertile.. say you are on a 28 day pack ?

Would not know: Ovulation on the pill is extremely rare when taken at the same time each day religiously.

Hard to know: I don't believe there have been any studies looking at ovulation times on the pill because it is supposed to prevent ovulation. So to answer your question, the only way to know when you would be most fertile is to know "if" you ovulated and when, by using an ovulation test or measuring your am temperature and watch for a spike in temp. You can't tell in hindsight however. Sorry!
