You are not supossed to ovulate while on the pill, I don't really remember how the BC pills work but you shouldn't ovulate. Some women however if I remember correctly will ovulate on the sugar pill days or if the dose is too low for them then they'll ovulate anyway....
I'm sorry that I don't remember well, but it should prevent you from ovulating.
