BC & Ovulation?

Question

Does getting your period on birth control mean you ovulated? I’m on Loestrin 1/20 (not FE) the 21 day pack and I don’t wait in between packs so why do I get a period? Am I ovulating?

Answer

No, the hormones from the birth control continuously prevent ovulation, granted the birth control is used properly. The bleeding u experience is just withdrawal or breakthrough bleeding from fluctuations in the hormones. Google “how do birth control pills work even during the placebo week”, the Scarletteen link/article explains it very well!

Answer

No you're not ovulating
