Hard to say: Using hormonal contraception can interrupt the normal hormone cycles during the current & subsequent cycle. This will usually normalize within 2-3 cycles. For pregnancy protection, however, you should assume that ovulation will occur and use some type of contraceptive if pregnancy is not desired.
