Any boy moms out there know for a fact they ovulated from the left and had a boy?

It's not entirely true. Google it and at least on babycenter.com there are MANY moms who had boys on the left and girls on the right.

It's also incorrect because I know women who have only one tube and have both genders.

Me! Although I have also read that you can O from one ovary and the other tube can pick it up, but it's not as common.

With my first two sons, they didn't do routine ultrasounds at that time (yes, I'm old LOL)

With my third and 4th, I hadn't heard of the theory yet and I didn't ask and they didn't mention it.

I tried to get the tech to tell me with the 5th baby but she wouldn't do it! My doc's office is very tight-lipped about any gender-related stuff until 20 weeks.

Thanks atomic

Sort of on topic: Does anyone know what the techs look for to tell which ovary you ovulated from?

I just had an early ultrasound (4w3d) today - way too early, I think my dr was a bit over-zealous but ordered one anyway. (For those who don't know, I have a history of ectopic so they always test me really early) Anyway, as I expected they didn't find anything yet in the uterus but my right ovary was registering a hemorrhagic cyst - there was nothing on my left. Could that be the sign I am looking for? I asked the tech if she knew which side I O'd from and she just told me she "took the pictures" so not sure. I am really anxious to know since my right tube is not working... and I would be a lot happier if it was my LEFT ovary that dropped the egg... I go back for another ultrasound in 2 weeks around 6w4d so will know for sure then. In the meantime I get to have a lot of fun blood beta tests, joy :sigh:

I think my tech said she saw a cyst on my left ovary and that's how she new I ovulated from the left

I O'd from my left ovary and am having a boy :)
