What happens is that a part of the brain normally responsible for inducing ovulation fails to produce enough hormones or produce the hormones regularly. Among the causes of this failure are:
Extreme stress
Excessive physical exercise
Excess weight
Overeating
Travel
Low thyroid hormone level
Aftereffects of using certain drugs such as oral contraceptives or Depo-Provera

Well most of the time is you have a regular period it means you are ovulating, but in a small percentage of women this isn't true. You can use ovulation tests just to be sure.

You suppose to ovulate if your having regular periods but anything like stress, gaining weight, eating a lot and thyroid can cause you not to ovulate.

Cycles shorter than 21 days and greater than 35 days can mean there is a higher likelihood that you may not be ovulating.
Do go and see your GP if you're unsure & you've been trying to concieve for over 12 months (or 6 months if over 35).
