Is it possible to have regular periods and still not ovulate?

Not naturally: With medications yes, but not naturally. A true menstrual period is by definition an event that follows ovulation. There are many reasons for vaginal bleeding due to other causes, which can cause confusion, but these are not menstrual periods. It is a safe rule of thumb anyway, that a woman with regular cyclic bleeding is ovulating.

Possibly: If you are having regular, monthly cycles, you are most likely ovulating.
