A member asked:
Could you continue menstruating if not ovulating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Menstruation, defined strictly, only happens after ovulation (or after taking then stopping supplemental progesterone.) on the other hand, vaginal bleeding due to other causes is common, often leading to confusion. Not all vaginal bleeding is a 'period.'.
