A member asked:
If you skip your period does that mean you didn't ovulate? and if you don't ovulate, you're not fertile?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Missing a period: The most common reason for "skipping a period", other than pregnancy is not ovulating (releasing an egg). There are a number of reasons this could happen and if it continues, a discussion with your ob/gyn would be helpful. You're correct, if you aren't ovulating you won't get pregnant.
