Question about PCOS

All my life I had irregular periods, with cycles ranging from about 35 days to 90 days. I also had awful PMS. However, I had no other symptoms of PCOS except for insulin resistance and weight gain. I got pregnant both times I wanted to without any medical assistance, I don't have any signs of excess male hormones (no facial hair, no hair loss, etc.), and I really don't think I have PCOS. However, I've never understood why I had such irregular periods. Can irregular periods be related to insulin sensitivity without having any other symptoms of PCOS?
