Common: Many women menstruate but do not ovulate. It is often from hormone level issues. Should discuss with your gyn regarding fertility testing to check hormone levels as "simple" place to start.

See a Gynecologist: To diagnose an anovulatory period a gynecologist might have you do temperature measurements to determine if you show the temperature spike associated with ovulation. If not then you will need a detailed workup to look for the cause and devise a treatment. Possible causes include polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic dysfunction, perimenopause, ovulatory dysfunction, thyroid disorders.
