No periods: Amenorrhea (no menstrual period) is the most common effect. Long-term absence of menstrual period can cause bone loss and may influence the future risk of heart disease.

No periods.: Number one on the list is that without ovulation, spontaneous periods do not occur. Consequences of this can include impaired fertility, and possible development of pre-cancerous changes in the uterine lining (endometrium.).

Irregular cycles: When ovulation is not taking place appropriately, the menstrual cycle will reflect that. In women who are anovulatory, their cycles will be irregular and unpredictable. Some women may even stop having periods altogether. Irregular cycles should be evaluated by your doctor to assess for the underlying cause.

It depends: There is a wide variety of etiologies for anovulation. And the solution may not only depend on the etiology, but what exactly is the "problem" anovulation is causing. Is the problem heavy periods, irregular periods, absence of periods, endometrial hyperplasia, infertility, etc. It is best to seek gyn consultation for evaluation and proper management of anovulation.

One would have to: Know the tests. They tested for premature menopause. You likely are not ovulating do to pcos which is more a clinical diagnosis. See if they drew a fasting Insulin level, if elevated and you read about pcos, it may help u to ovulate. If you have pcos you at 2x the risk of a mood or stress problem. Good news i'd that buproprion with metformin is good for wt loss if needed, go low, slow.Gdluc.
