Could I be ovulating without medication?

Question

I have had pcos since I was 13, went through too many to list procedures and surgeries, infertility treatments, etc. I have not been to a doctor or been on any kind of medication now for 2 years and last August out of nowhere, I started having normal periods and like clockwork, every month at age 33 now. I have an appointment for the 28th of this month to find out for sure, but in your opinion, if I am having normal periods, does that mean I am probably ovulating as well?

Answer 1

Not necessarily I have PCOS and when almost 2 years without a period then out of no where I started them on my owen for about 6 months and we never conceived I was pretty regular sometimes 31 days sometimes 32 days. My specialist said just because you have a cycle doesn't mean you ovulate so she put me on 150mg of Clomid + 1500 mg of Metformin so hopefully this answers your question your Dr. could do a day 21 blood test to see if you do in fact ovulate or not and then take it from there.  Good luck :-)

Answer 2

For me that wasn't sure. I have pcos also. I haven't gone through a lot of different procedures or anything, but my doctor put me on  50 mg clomid at first. I was getting regular periods with it, however each month I had to get blood test to check for ovulation. Some months I did, and others I did not.

So, in my opinion, I would say you are not necessarily ovulating even if you are having regular cycles now.

Good luck!

Answer 3

That's great news about your new regular cycles. Depending where you are in your cycle right now, you could consider doing OPKs. It would give you some data to take to your doctor on 28th. Normally you'd start testing with OPKs daily (mid-morning) starting on CD10, so if that would fit with your cycle, I'd recommend it. That way you might have a positive result on the LH surge and that gives your doctor lots of info they can use. It's not proof of ovulation, but it's darn close! Good luck :)

Answer 4

Try ovulation tests then ull know.

I have regular periods but don't ovulate.

Good luck,
