Ovulation confusion -----------?
Okay so my doctor told me that I am not ovulating based on my hormone test results however I have periods and they are fairly regular. I was always under the assumption that if you don't ovulate you have few or no periods. Is that correct or no? I will ask my doc next visit but I was just curious. Thanks!!

I believe I've heard that just because you have a period doesn't mean that you ovulated. I found this on the www.americanpregnancy.org website:
Can I have a period and still not have ovulated?
Having a period does not necessarily mean that ovulation has taken place. Some women may have what is called an anovulatory cycle, (meaning no ovulation) and can experience some bleeding which is mistaken for a period, but it is actually not a true period. This bleeding is caused by either a buildup in the uterine lining that can no longer sustain itself or by an estrogen level drop. The main way to decipher if ovulation is in fact taking place is by tracking the body temperature.
Good luck!
