A member asked:
How does taking birth control pills late affect your potential chance of ovulating? could you end up ovulating during your period week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should not ovulate: The idea of using birth control is to prevent ovulation. When someone is on birth control pills they do not ovulate if they are using them correctly.
