Do we ov from alternating ovaries? :roll:

I think the answer is yes but wondered if someone knew for sure. The reason I ask is I a have dodgy left ovary - I don't know how healthy the eggs are from that one or if any ever get released. So last month I'm sure I ov'd from the left as I felt the pains but we did all the right things and nothing happened - bfn.

Now I know that there's only a certain % chance of a bfp even if the ovary is in good shape, but I was thinking I'm in with a better chance if I ov from the right and that would be this month (if the theory that we alternate ovaries is correct), although it's a about that time and I can't tell at the moment if I'm oving from the right one or not.

So hence my question do we alternate?

    usually yes, but as always there are exceptions to the rule, some onlly ever ov from one, some go three+ months from one, then from the other for a few, some ov from both at the same time (my mum did this, thats how she got fell preg with boy/girl twins) etc etc etc....so sorry, not really much help xx

    Its random, but for a lot of women it happens to alternate, but it just depends which ovary happens to have a ripe egg at that time. There is no fixed or firm rule for it, and no way to predict it either.

    Yes. I have been having Reflexology since jan to get my cycle back on track after pill ( I have gone from 55 day cycle to 28 day cycle after 3 sessions: Love it, def recommend it and am carrying on with it). Anyway she said this cycle she sould feel activity in my left ovary and explained that we ov from a different one each month. Not sure how that works if you just have one working one though. Maybe the single on just works harder. I will ask her at my next session. x
