There is a page on FB that I follow called Baby Bumps Beyond... Some of the fan questions and answers posted on there really make me wonder why most humans are even able to reproduce... One question today was about a woman not getting her period anymore and wondering if she could still conceive. The medically accurate answer is No, if you are not mensturating then you're not emulating and should consult your OB/GYN. Some of the answers to questions just blow me away... One answer was, " yes, I have 4 kids all less than a year apart from eachother and haven't had a period in 3 years."... Well, you probably haven't had a period in 3 years because you've pretty much been pregnant for 3 years...
I don't get it? I was taught in school about reproduction, so before I even had fertility issues or losses I knew how to get pregnant... How are so many people ignorant about their own bodies?

Although, it is possible to menstruate without ovulation, I never thought about how exactly that works in the opposite direction? Can a woman ovulate and not menstruate? In my mind I'm thinking if the hormones are right for ovulation, but not right for thickening of the uterine lining, in reality, there would be nothing to 'have a period' with..but, then that would also mean nothing for an embryo to implant into....
I realize that for the hormones for ovulation to be right (and not for lining thickening), it would be like a freak of nature occurrence, right?
My hospital actually makes you sign something stating bfing is NOT birth control when you have to sign for shaken baby syndrome waiver and watch the video. They stress that even before you return to your cycle you are still fertile!
