A member asked:

Do you definitely ovulate when you have ovulation bleeding? even if you're on birth control pills?

Specializes in General Practice

Depends on the pills: Most birth control pills stop ovulation. But some of the milder pills allow ovulation but do not allow implantation. Ovulation is not the same thing as menstruation.
