Understanding Multiple Periods & Ovulation: What You Need to Know
No, it is not possible for a woman to ovulate twice in one month.
Ovulation occurs when a mature egg is released from one of the ovaries. This usually happens once per menstrual cycle, about 14 days before the start of the next period.
A woman can only get pregnant if she ovulates and an egg is fertilized by a sperm. So, if a woman has two periods in one month, it means that she did not ovulate during the first cycle. The second period is likely to be a result of a hormonal imbalance or other medical condition.
