In general, if you ovulate regularly, you will have regular periods. It is possible, however, not to ovulate because the hormones required do not reach sufficient levels to trigger ovulation, but can still stimulate the lining of the uterus, giving you a period. Because this is not rhythmically controlled, the periods are then irregular.
