A member asked:
Can starting the birth control pill delay ovulation that is due in a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: If started early enough in the cycle, the pill can prevent ovulation. However, if the cycle has advanced far enough, ovulation will still occur even after starting the pill.
