how common is it for women in their 30's to have anovulatory cycles? i have a patient who has been taking basal temps, and using a fertility monitor for months...it appears that the temps follow a pattern up to a point, dropping down at the time of supposed ovulation - but then the LH sticks read negative. menses still occur, although somewhat irregularly. how influential can exercise be at this time in life? does it have to be daily, heavy exercise to cause anovulation? what can i tell her about what to expect in future months?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
