It i possible to have a period and not ovulate. This is called anovulatory bleeding. Women on Birth Control pill do not ovulate and still have a period which is triggered by drop in estrogen and progesterone hormones when they stop taking the pill at the end of the month.
A woman who is not on birth control can have anovulatory bleeding if she does not ovulate as a result of thyroid problems, low progesterone levels, polycyclic ovarian syndrome or perimenopause.
Infertility is often associated with having anovulatory cycles. The best way to detect this is by analyzing ovulation charts of their basal body temperature. An ovulation chart of a woman who has her period but does not ovulate does not have a temperature shift at mid cycle, but the temperature stays the same through the cycle.

DevinYes, it is possible to have a menstrual cycle without ovulation, a condition known as anovulation. Anovulation can occur for various reasons such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or certain medical conditions. Menstruating without ovulation can affect fertility but doesn't necessarily mean there is a serious underlying issue.

Do only women menstruate?
No, only people with female reproductive systems menstruate.
Can I still have a period if I do not ovulate"?
No, you cannot have a period if you do not ovulate.
Can you still ovulate while your on your period?
It is unlikely to ovulate while on your period, as ovulation typically occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle. However, it is not impossible for some women to ovulate during their period, especially if they have irregular cycles.
Can you still ovulate if you only have a 3 day period?
Yes, it is possible to ovulate with a 3-day period. The length of your period does not determine if you ovulate or not. Ovulation typically occurs around the middle of your menstrual cycle, regardless of the length of your period.
Can you ovulate the day after your period ends?
It is less likely to ovulate the day after your period ends, but everyone's cycle can vary. Ovulation typically occurs around the middle of the menstrual cycle, but it is still possible to get pregnant if you have a shorter cycle and ovulate earlier. Tracking your cycle using methods such as basal body temperature or ovulation predictor kits can help determine when you are most fertile.
