PCOS semi-regular periods and ovulation?

Question

I have PCOS and semi-regular periods though sometimes I skip a period but not too often anymore. Here are all the starting dates of my periods so far this year:
January 3, 2007
February 6, 2007
March 18, 2007
July 10th, 2007
August 12th, 2007

I'm 24 years old, going on 25 :( and Ive never been pregnant after 3 1/2 or so years of unprotected sex. Im just wondering judging by how frequent Ive been having my periods.. is it possible that Im ovulating?
How many periods can you have in a row and never ovulate at all? Is it even possible to have so many periods and not have ovulated a single time?

hey there your welcome to email me if you like ok i have pcos to cycist on my overies i have tryed for 10 years no need to herry never got pregant except one had a miscarrage 9 years ago i whent to a endocringlosist who put me on metformin but all the doctors refuse to give me clomid because they say its a health risk but i want to take that chance so i gotta get it online despite of what everyone tells me k heres what i have been told when you have pcos although you r having a normal period you might not be olivelateing so its real hard to tell but was told if you take your temp every day and it saids a normal temp u will olivelate when your temp rises for a period of time i havent tryed it yet will be doing it soon good luck but was also told we might olivelate 1or 2 times a year so its very hard to tell even when your periods are regular .but dont rush it it will happen when you r least exspecting it i use to go 3 or 4 months no period at all they can induce it but it still dont mean your olivelating now heres a good advice for you thats very benifical to pcos eat carrots beets green vegs and try lemons one everyday.lemons are an acid that work on the cycist to get rid of them it eat them away over time .Also it sounds like me i am 30 well also take a muli vitamin and excise alot that helps to get your body into gear as well

I have PCOS hav had it for 12 years I can't use OPK as i don't get a real reading from them but i have cysts and high testosterone, i have a 30 to 43 day cycle. You may have ovulated last month but maybe later then you tested for? I would still BD when you had your positive OPK as it could have been a true one good luck and lots of baby dust

My doctor told me never to go more than 3 months without a period. When you were diagnosed with PCOS, were you trying to get pregnant? My suggestion to you is to go to your doctor and tell him that you are trying to conceive. Write down the dates your last years periods and show him that you have been trying for atleast a year with no luck. Hopefully he will put you on some medicine. I went three months w/o a period and my doctor put me on Metformin. I got pregnant in a month and a half. Good luck!

It is possible that you are ovulating irregularly, but there's really no way to know now. But what you can do is start charting your basal body temps to see if you ovulate in the next few cycles. Go to www.fertilityfriend.com,
It is possible however, that what has happened over the past few cycles this year is that you haven't been ovulating and that you are having anovulatory bleeds. This is especially common in women with estrogen dominance-The symptoms and conditions associated with estrogen dominance are:

Acceleration of the aging process
Allergies, including asthma, hives, rashes, sinus congestion
Autoimmune disorders such as lupus erythematosis and thyroiditis, and possibly Sjoegren's disease
Breast cancer
Breast tenderness
Cervical dysplasia
Cold hands and feet as a symptom of thyroid dysfunction
Copper excess
Decreased sex drive
Depression with anxiety or agitation
Dry eyes
Early onset of menstruation
Endometrial (uterine) cancer
Fat gain, especially around the abdomen, hips and thighs
Fatigue
Fibrocystic breasts
Foggy thinking
Gallbladder disease
Hair Loss
Headaches
Hypoglycemia
Increased blood clotting (increasing risk of strokes)
Infertility
Irregular menstrual periods
Irritability
Insomnia
Magnesium deficiency
Memory loss
Mood swings
Osteoporosis
Polycystic ovaries
Premenopausal bone loss
PMS
Prostate cancer
Sluggish metabolism
Thyroid dysfunction mimicking hypothyroidism
Uterine cancer
Uterine fibroids
Water retention, bloating
Zinc deficiency
