Women with a low body weight, are frequently under high stress, or in perimenopause tend to have irregular periods. These women have very low estrogen production, so the body has trouble communicating to the ovaries that eggs need to be released, and ovulation does not take place.
My problem is ovarian cysts. I can feel them right around the time that I ovulate, the aching pain will last for about a week or so. My temp. chart says that I'm ovulating, but I don't know if I'm releasing an egg because of the cysts. I don't know if the cysts is forming before the release of the egg, preventing it from coming out or after the egg is already released.
