Can you get pms symptoms if you don't ovulate?

Question

i have very irregular periods and i don't ovulate. However, this cycle I had an HSG and a week later, started having pms symptoms( cramping, sore bbs, fatigue, nausea...) I never have any symptoms of PMS so I thought I might be PG, the test was neg and I'm back on provera to try again this month. Is it possible to have pms/period symptoms if you don't ovulate?

Answer 1

yes in irregular periods its common.i have pcos & i didnt ovulate this month.

Answer 2

It is normal to have PMS without ovulating. That is why some women do not know they are not ovulating.  You can also have a normal cycle and still not be ovulating.  I don't always ovulate and have still gotten PMS.  My level of PMS fluctuates from cycle to cycle.  Some months it is much worse than others.  I have had cycles where I have ovulated and didn't have very strong PMS.  You never know.  Best wishes ttc!!

Answer 3

Yes. Many woman do not ovulate every month, but yet still have AF come.  

Answer 4

Yes I have PCOS and have a period sometimes even when I have not ovulated PMS is pre-period hormone surge the hormones you have before a period are different from the hormone that triggers ovulation so you can have PMS as long as you have a period with or with out ovulation.  

Answer 5

Yes.I have a  period every mo and come to find out I don't ovulate regulary.SOme times I have severe pms and sometimes I can't even tell that I am about to start.

Answer 6

I had a regular 28 day cycle.  It was like clockwork...took us 18 months to conceieve.  We went for blood tests on the 21st day of my cycle to check if I ovulated (a progestoerone test) and I wasn't ovulating.  I took clomid, and eas pregnant within 3 cycles
