Mensturation
if it is possible for a woman to still see her menses during pregnancy, does it follow that she will ovulate too.

To clarify, women do not menstruate when pregnant. They rarely ovulate (they can if the hormones are not high enough, though the hormone imbalance usually is a result of a blighted embryo and is a sign of impending miscarriage).
When a woman bleeds during pregnancy, it's not the uterine lining being shed. The shedding of the utering lining is what makes it a period. The bleeding during pregnancy is sometimes a spotting that occurs and has to do with bleeding from the vaginal tissues or the cervix or from the embryo, fetus, or placenta. If the uterine lining is shed during the pregnancy, that is an indicator of 'threatened miscarriage' or miscarriage. It's not a good sign.
The bleeding one can get during pregnancy should not be as heavy as menstrual flow. It's usually just a spot of blood-tinged discharge in the panties. Passing clots during pregnancy is always suspicious for a problem with the pregnancy. Any pregnant woman who has blood from her vagina should consult her gynecologist right away for evaluation and treatment or for reassurance that nothing is wrong.

You will NEVER ovulate when pregnant-- ever, ever, ever.
As far as menses during pregancy: It is not uncommon to spot during early pregnancy. However, there is a rare occasion that a woman will continue with her monthly cycle during a full-term pregancy, but extremely rare. Extremely.
Menses are washing the unfertilized egg and hormones that built up on the uterus (that allows a fertilized egg to attach) every month that a woman did not get pregnant.
Therefore, the majority of women, will never have a monthly cycle when pregnant. No need to, and the body is designed that way.
