Bleeding between periods and ovulating

I am 31 years old, I have been on birth control for years ( eaarlier then necessary to regulate my periods), on 10/20 I had a D&C to remove a pulp on my uterus, on 10/27 I started bleeding pretty heavy for 5 days, I assumed it was a regular period because I accidently skipped a week on my birth control, on the 11/02 ( sunday) once I finished what I thought was my regular period, I started up on the pills again, on 11/17 I started bleeding really heavily, heavier than I did back back on the week of 10/27, I called my dr and he asked if I skipped a pill, which I didnt, he suggested that I double up on my birth control pills to stop the bleeding, that was on 11/17, today is 11/20 and I am still bleeding pretty heavy, does anyone know what could be going on? I have been searching the web for some answers.

Also, silly question but how do you know if you ovulate, if I am on the Birth control pill does that mean that I never ovulate? Up to this point I had periods every 28 days that were light to medium flow. I am worried that something due to taking the pills it messing me up inside. So my question is, do you ovulate when you are on the pill, and if not, is the risk for ovarian cancer and other cancers increased?

thanks
