A member asked:
What is the difference between ovulation and a period ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very different: Ovulation is the event that happens about midway between periods when the egg(s) is released. A menstrual period is vaginal bleeding that occurs when the hormones that prepare the uterus for pregnancy drop and cause the uterine lining to shed.
