Ok, so if a period comes without any drug inducement....what causes it if one isn't ovulating? And if one is having regular periods, does this mean she is ovulating?? I have been on Avandia for over a year now, and my cycles range from 26-32 days. I have the breast tenderness, PMS, cramps etc. Do you suspect that I am ovulating without any definate test results (which will likely be the next step)? Thanks, Tracie
