A member asked:

I highly doubt this, but if i stopped taking birth control and had only one cycle and no more after that, could you still ovulate with no period?

Birth Control: Your cycle is probably irregular from the pill and yes you could ovulate and not have had a period but once you ovulate, the cycle should come on about 14 days later
