a woman can menstruate and not ovulate.....right???

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Sort of, but not really.

Annovulatory bleeding is not actually a menstrual period. It's either "estrogen withdrawal bleeding" or "estrogen breakthrough bleeding" .

Estrogen withdrawal bleeding occurs when a woman's estrogen level rises, but does not rise high enough to hit her estrogen threshold and cause ovulation. As her estrogen level drops, she may begin to bleed. Estrogen breakthrough bleeding occurs when fluctuating hormone levels have caused the lining of the uterus to become so thick it essentially collapses on itself, and bleeding occurs. In both these situations, a woman who doesn't know better may assume she ovulated and is just having a strange period.

Women who are annovulatory often have cycles are not normal, ie: very long, irregular, basal body temps that jump all over the place, scant or light periods, extremely heavy periods, etc. But not always. The only effective way for a woman to tell if she's ovulating (without the assistance of a doctor) is to record her BBT at the same time every morning when she first wakes up.
