Pcos ovulation : It's varied....there is more than just weight related to ovulation. Sometimes there is also insulin resistance that is associated with irregular menses and ovulation. You should use an ovulation kit to help predict your ovulation. Definitely shoot for less than 200lbs. Good luck

I have PCOS. I used to barely ever get my period. After losing a ton of weight, my periods have been regular, between 27-31 days for two years. Does having regular periods indicate Im ovulating?
