If you are not having a normal period you are most likely not ovulating. If you are not having a period you need to see a reproductive endocrinologist and get checked out.

I got pregnant in October 2008 and in November I lost the baby....In December I was having some odd bleeding...I took a pregnancy test and it was positive...I was shocked because between the time I miscarried and found out I was pregnant again I never had a period..Unfortunately i lost that baby as well, but it did prove to me that you can ovulate without a period.......Good Luck

If you are ovulating, you should get a period, if you aren't pregnant. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who was ovulating, not pregnant, and not having periods.

The best way to tell if you are ovulating is to take your basal body temperature each morning when you wake up. When you ovulate, your temperature should rise due to the hormones involved. You can also take ovulation predictor kits but those can be misleading for women with pcos just because our hormones are messed up in some cases. (See the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It's great at explaining the nuances of the menstrual cycle and reproduction/ovulation in easy to understand language.)

You can have your period but not ovulate. I've never heard of the reverse situation though.

You can not ovulate and in turn not get a period unless you are pregnant. You can ovulate and not know that you are and get pregnant before you are able to have a period. The opposite can happen though. You can very well have a period and not be ovulating. This is called anovulation. Why do you think you ovulated? OpKs? Sometimes the increased hormones in a pcos woman can give false positive opks.
