Are low dose combination pills still able to prevent ovulation if taken as directed at the same time everyday, 24 hours apart?? i'm just curious because i take lutera (for 2 months) and i wanted to know if i am protected.

Yes: The mechanism of action of birth control pills high or low dose is to prevent ovulation and prevent pregnancy. They have other benefits but this is the main use.
