Skin break outs with ovulation?

I was wondering if anyone else experiences skin breakouts around ovulation?  I haven't noticed it as bad before but this cycle is horrendous and I have breakouts on my chin and inbetween my eyebrows?  It's really frustrating but if it means my hormones are working then I guess I don't care!  I know it can also be a symptom of PCOS which also concerns me, but I am hoping it's just normal due to ovulation!!

I break out mid-cycle every cycle and a week before AF usually.  It's very common for women who don't have PCOS too, so don't let it freak you out!  It usually gets a little worse for me when the weather starts to change and my skin adjusts to the drier air. (It's absolutely horrendous right now from the end of pregnancy hormones!)

Dana-I don't recall it ever happening to me, but I have heard of it happening, so since it is that time for you maybe thats why the sudden breakout.
