There are many reasons for anovulation.
Sometimes is PCOS, sometimes it's being underweight, or excersising too much (like being a professional female athlete or training for a marathon), or being overweight, or having a hormone imbalance. It could also be nutritional.
You should start by assessing your nutritional status. Do you eat a balanced diet w/ good fats (do NOT do a "low fat" diet if you are TTC!), fruits and veggies (preferably organic), whole grains, protein, and supplements when necessary. Check out the WestonAPrice.org website for great info on women's nutrition. There's also a book called Fertility, Cycles, and Nutrition by M. Shannon.
Outside sources of estrogen may supress ovulaton too. Soy products, plastics leeching into your water and food, pesticides, even household products like skin care can contain xenoestrogens.
Hypothyroid can also cause infertility. You can check your basal body temperature in the morning and track your temperature throughout the day. Low temps (below 98.6 midday and 97.5 first thing in the am) can be a sign of hypothyroid. What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypothyroid is a great source of info for hypothyroid help.
Sometimes, even a woman who is not breastfeeding can produce prolactic which can supress ovulation. Your doc can test you for this.
The best way for you know know about your cycle is to chart your fertility signs. Your chart can tell you when you are fertile, when you are not, when you are ovulating, when to expect your next period, and when to suspect pregnancy. Your chart can also tell you if there are issues delaying conception or causing difficulty w/ carrying a pregnancy and if there are serious issues which need a doc's attention.
Even if you are not ovulating, it's a good idea to check your fertility signs so that you can tell you you might be moving towards ovulation and what might be keeping you from ovulating. Excess estrogen, for example, often shows up as continual fertile like cervical fluid. Low BBT could indicate hypothryoid. There's really a wealth of info in charting.
Some good sources for charting your fertility signs: Fertilityfriend.com (free software as well as a pay-for version and on-line charting turorial); ovusoft.com (discussion boards for many fertility related issues, much info on fertility after the pill, and a very good software for purchase). The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility (associated w/ the the ovusoft website and software), The Art of Natural Family Planning, and Garden of Fertility

no, probably not. i have had really irregular periods all my life and i was on the pill for years. the only things that makes you regular on the pill is the hormones. after you are off the pill your body will go back to the way it was, not producing those hormones. if anything, i would ask your doctor to put you on fertility drugs. if you're not having a period, you are not ovulating.
