Do you ovulate when on birth control & is it normal to miss a period when you have taken it for a long period of time, like a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Birth control is a generic label that includes barriers,IUD's, and hormonal preparations. Most hormonal pills are designed to suppress ovulation while the other methods do not.
