A member asked:

I recently had put on some weight and ovulating irregularly.i don't have pcos, thyroid.why i am not ovulating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Insulin resistance?: Weight gain in the Insulin resistance syndrome makes you more Insulin resistant. Sex hormone binding globulin is down-regulated in i.R., so could throw off your cycles. Check with an endocrinologist.
