Do you still ovulate when in premenopause?

Answer by  pambam (892)

A woman can be in perimenopause up to ten years before the physical ceasing of her menses. This means that for most of the perimenopausal period, ovulation still occurs. This means as well that pregnancy can occur, resulting in what is sometimes called "a change of life baby. " Contraception should be continued.

You can still ovulate as long as it is still premenopause. You may not ovulate as regularly though. Your chances for pregnancy will also be diminished during this time. Your hormone levels will be changing which will cause the potential lack of ovulation some months.
