Lazy pituitary: A lazy pituitary is the most common reason. Stress, weight loss, low body fat levels, excessive exercise, medications, and ovarian failure are other common reasons.

Many possible causes: Not ovulating should cause irregular cycles and can be due to: polycystic ovarian sydrome (pcos), thyroid problems, excess prolactin hormone, aging of the ovary (diminished ovarian reserve), or low hormone levels (hypogonadism) from exercise, eating disorders, or stress. If you're trying to conceive see a reproductive endocrinology specialist for tests / treatment to help you get pregnant faster.
