Who does anovulation affect?

Anovulation can affect anyone who has ovaries and is of child-bearing age, which, on average, is between the ages of 12 and 51. If any of the following conditions or situations apply to you, you’re more likely to experience anovulation:

• You have just started getting periods (are perimenarchial).
• You are in perimenopause (when your body transitions to menopause).
• You have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
• You have a very low body mass index (BMI), which is usually either from having anorexia or from doing long-term excessive exercise.
