: If specific testing for ovulation is positive, it is unusual for this to happen on a regular basis given a diagnosis of "PCOS". While ovulation can occur with PCOS, it is most often not a monthly event. See your GYN physician for guidance on taking oral bcp's which stop ovarian hormone production .
