I'm 22 and haven't had sex in over a year, but I'm having issues with irregular periods. I saw a gynecologist who said I need a blood test and ultrasound to figure out what's going on. She mentioned it might be due to some fat above my uterus. I'm curious, can she find out if I'm a virgin from those tests?

I'm a bit confused about how periods and ovulation are connected. Is it possible to have a period without ovulating? And if I do ovulate, does that mean I'll definitely get my period about 15 days after? I'm just trying to understand how it all works.

Yes, it is possible to have a menstrual period without ovulation. This is known as an anovulatory cycle. Yes, typically after ovulation, a menstrual period occurs around 14 days later. This is known as the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. If fertilization does not occur, the uterine lining sheds, resulting in menstruation. If you are looking for a medication to regulate your menstrual cycle, you can consider using oral contraceptive pills such as Yaz or Yasmin.
