If you skip your period does that mean you didn't ovulate? And if you don't ovulate, you're not fertile?
Can you ovulate in the beginning of the month or when you miss you period ?
I think I ovulated this month 2-3 weeks ago I had that really sticky discharge, but I still have not started my period. Can you just skip a period ?
