Unclear to me: On oral contraceptives your ovaries should be suppressed, thus ovulation is suppressed. You should not be releasing oocytes (eggs).

Yes if correct : It is uncommon to ovulate on birth control pills and even less so to ovulate more than one egg. However, if this is true and you do conceive, you are more likely to have twins.
