After the egg is released, it remains alive for an amount of time between 12 and 24 hours. Two weeks after ovulation, the lining of the uterus will discharge from the vagina in the form of menstrual blood. Again, since your period results from ovulation, it is uncommon to ovulate without having a period, but not impossible. Factors such as uterine scarring or becoming pregnant can cause your period not to occur.
If so, the usual thickening of the uterus lining that normally happens after ovulation does not occur. You may ovulate without having a period, or you might have a light period. You also may ovulate without periods if your ovaries release an egg between 12 to 16 days before you expect your period to begin. It is easier to conceive if your periods are regular. They may experience what appears to be a period, but, in reality, this is most likely ovulatory bleeding.
Ovulation can occur when you experience mid-cycle or ovulatory bleeding. Keep in mind that while you cannot technically ovulate while on a period because sperm can live in the body for days after sex, pregnancy could occur from intercourse that takes place during a period. That is determined by how many days are in your cycle. The number of days in your cycle is calculated by counting the number of days from the beginning of one period to the beginning of the next period.
If you have a short cycle, for example, 21 days, and you bleed for 7 days, then you could ovulate right after your period. This is because ovulation generally occurs days before your next period begins, and this would estimate you ovulating at days of your cycle.
While conception cannot occur while you are on your period, pregnancy can occur from the intercourse you have during a period. This is because sperm can live in the body for up to five days, and if a woman ovulates soon after her period, then conception could take place from intercourse that occurred during her period.
Keep in mind that you can get pregnant while experiencing mid-cycle or ovulatory bleeding. See above for clarification regarding ovulatory bleeding and menstruation. Every woman can experience her own type of cervical fluid. Ovulation is assumed to take place on the day a woman has the most amount of wet fluid.
Ovulation predictor kits determine whether the luteinizing hormone LH is detected. The luteinizing hormone LH rises right before ovulation occurs. Women may have a high level of the LH if they have certain conditions such as polycystic ovaries, premature ovarian failure POF , or for women over age 40 who are experiencing perimenopause. Any of these conditions could result in a false-positive result on an ovulation predictor test. Since a woman releases an egg days before her expected period, it is possible for women to get pregnant without having periods.
Women who are not menstruating due to a certain condition i. If you ovulate and do not start your period a couple of weeks later, you may want to take a pregnancy test. For those who want to conceive, the lack of periods could make it more difficult to know the timing of ovulation if you are not charting your basal temperature and cervical fluid changes.
But if you are not having periods and wanting to prevent pregnancy, a form of contraception should be used since there is no way to know when ovulation will occur. Having a period does not necessarily mean that ovulation has taken place. Some women may have what is called an anovulatory cycle , meaning ovulation has not occurred.
During an anovulatory cycle, women may experience some bleeding which may appear to be a period, although this 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 a drop in estrogen. The main way to decipher if ovulation is, in fact, taking place is by tracking your basal body temperature.

Review resource guide here. With the third it was a complete surprise since I had been diagnosed with peri menopause and was 80 days without a cycle.
I started my cycle with my period on August 24, had egg white cm and favorable position and softness of my cervix the 16th to 19th of September, Positive OPK 17th of September, and the dip then spike in bbt 17th dip 18, 19, 20 spike. Still no period Oct HPTs have all been negative, hormones are all in check.
What happened this next cycle? She had no answers for whether the ovum is expelled or reabsorbed. I went off the pill in November after being on it for 5 years.
Finished the pack, got my period, then ovulated. My period then came 8 days later than it normally would. I am now on day 42 of my cycle and no period. I did take a test about 10 days after ovulation and it was negative. I would just get pms symptoms for 2 weeks, it would go away and then no period. Anyone else ever have anything like this? Ended up having a blighted ovum. I have had irregular periods my entire life. I was told that I most likely was not ovulating and my dr prescribed me.
I came home from picking it up at Walgreens along with an ovulation test kit. Something made me take one o I f the tests when I got home and it was the solid smiley face!!! I was at my peak! Yes you can ovulate without having periods. AND YET I am still periodically ovulating last couple of days included with all the usual signs of ovulation discharge, slight pain etc.
My weight is normal and in fact I am half a stone more than when my periods ceased, so taken with the persistent hot flushes, it is clearly not amenorrhoa. The only way to definitively confirm ovulation is with a progesterone blood test. I have only just started recovering my cycles post HA. Thanks for this post. Any insights? Thanks so much! Hi Alex! I say almost because I still do every day a light workout, but despite that, my life is at home, barely moving. Sorry for the TMI, but very stretchy and thick.
Either way, do you think I should do any more changes? Hi Constance!
