to can you get pregnant if not having periods

Many people assume that if you’re not menstruating, pregnancy isn’t possible. But the reality is more complex. Ovulation can still occur before your period returns — meaning you might be fertile without realizing it. This is especially true in cases like postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, irregular cycles, or certain medical conditions.

It raises important questions about how we understand our own reproductive health. If ovulation happens before a visible period, how can we truly track fertility? How can we better educate people to avoid unplanned pregnancies or, for those trying to conceive, recognize opportunities they might be missing?

I’ve been gathering resources and free tools to help track fertility and understand these “silent” ovulation windows. You can explore them here: https://glowmamatools.com.
