Can you have a period without ovulating?

Question: 
Can you have a period without ovulating?

According to ConceiveEasy.com women can have "anovulatory bleeding - a period-like bleeding during a woman's cycle even though she is not ovulating and her body is not releasing an egg"  in the article, Can You Have a Period Without Ovulating? Dr. Christine Lee explains, "It is called an anovulatory cycle when a woman’s body does not release an egg during her cycle (ovulation is not occurring). Technically, if a woman is not ovulating or releasing an egg, she should not have any bleeding at all.  The bleeding is called anovulatory bleeding. Even though it is like a regular menstrual period, it is not the same thing and should not be confused for a normal period. It can be very difficult to know for sure if you are ovulating or not, especially if you are not tracking and charting your cycles each month" (2013).

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect.
