STILL waiting for AF, though... and STILL cramping! GRRRRRR! :(
Wow, THREE AF starters today.
Please, send me your AF vibes!
YAY! So glad af finally arrived for so many! I just know February is going to be a lucky month - bring on the BFPs!! :pinksperm:
Good luck with your scan today, auroara - I can't wait to hear an update!
I'm of course a ball of nerves about my scan, though I'm cautiously optimistic I'll see a heartbeat since I definitely have way more pregnancy symptoms than I did last time. If all goes well and I think of it, I'll ask about placenta placement too.
just a question -- does this mean this ramzi theory...if you ovulate from the left more likely girl and the right more likely boy? Can you ovulate from the right overy and the placenta is on the left side of the uterus?
Yes it's possible but the idea behind this, and rainbowflower beautifully explained it in a different thread is, if the left ovary pops the egg, then it makes more sense the baby to implant on the left side since it's already been hanging out there on that side.
Hopefully she'll chime in and it will make much more sense than what I'm trying to say!
Yes it would be interesting to hear. Though it makes me a little scared because during my ivf cycle's I was producing a lot more eggs from my right side than my left. Like double from the right what I was getting from the left. My ob told me that the theory women rotate ovulation from right to left and back to right etc. monthly is false. Some women prodominately ovulate from one side or the other. Like 2-3 times from one side then from the other and back to 2-3 times from the one. Maybe that is why there are so many one gender families -- if this whole ramzi theory is true.
Though it doesn't make me feel better because I am starting to think its my right side thats obviously predominant and I have 3 boys.....root root, go left side this month for once pleeeeease!!
Prayforprincess, your OB is right. There is a myth that women ovulate from left to right left to right etc, isn't true. Some women can do that, but most women have a preferred ovary they pop from. I'm not trying to scare anyone here, and this is not 100%, but I've read enough studies that *suggest* that more girls are concieved from left ovary and more boys from right ovary. Again this is not 100%, but this is one of the many reasons why I think a perfect sway can produce an opposite, etc, and why sometimes a sway that isn't so good can still produce a DG.
This is one of the elements of luck or "randominess" that makes swaying not 100%. Although again, I'm not trying to stress or ruin anyone's day, it's just the research that I've done that has suggested eggs dropped from left ovary = girls, etc. Again, I hope no one gets too upset over what I'm saying :(
I totally get what you are saying Auroara, and maybe that does explain why perfect sways don't work and not so perfect sways do. But...wouldn't that also mean that the egg has something to do with deciding gender? And that has been proven false -- all eggs are x and its the sperm that determine's gender.
But maybe certain egg's are more favorable for one type/gender sperm over another. Like the left side eggs prefer girl sperm and the right prefer boy.
Thoughts? We should get Atomic in on this discussion...I'd like to know what she thinks.
I'd love to get Atomic on this discussion about this! Yeah, I've heard before that eggs don't favor sperm, but yet again, it seems like somehow eggs from left just somehow get the x sperm instead? I'd love more concrete research/facts into this facet!
