do you always ovulate when you stop taking bcps..

or not? even if you get a proper period when you are supposed to? x

You can have a period and not ovulate and vice versa according to my GP - I asked when I came off BCP I don't know of anyone who's permanently stopped ovulating after bcps but it can take a long time, a year is not unheard of.

even if you get a period, doent necessarily mean that youve released an egg, is that right? x

That's right, you can have anovulatory cycles where no egg is released.
