Ovulation or period, which comes first?

Question

I had my Mirena removed just over two months ago.  I haven't had a period yet. Do I need to have a period before I can ovulate, or can I ovulate before my first period? I just want to know if I should be taking OPKs to watch for a surge or if its a waste until after my first period. Thank you!

Answer

Your period is the start of your cycle.

Answer

You need to ovulate first before you get a period

Answer

You may have annovulatory bleeding before you ovulate. You have to ovulate before you can have a true period. It could go either way. I usually just waited for my first bleed before starting to track ovulation.
