Side of ovulation and gender

Often I have a lot of thoughts but write down only one part of it :) just thinking aloud here.

Gotcha! Just trying to be clear for anyone who later on, read this thread! Very interesting info! :)

I know this thread is a few months old, but I came across this from google and just thought I'd add my input if that's ok :) I know for sure I ovulated on my right side for my last baby because of the corpus luteum, and I'm pretty sure I remember the corpus luteum being on the right for my first baby too, and they're both boys. This is a very interesting thread... I've also read some of Ramzi's theory and wonder if the ovulation side has something to do with the side of implantation or if it can implant anywhere? We're about to make our girl attempt, so hopefully it works out :) Of course I'd still be happy either way!

I think that's def. possible!! We just don't know enough to say for sure!! Several of us have ovulated from the "wrong" side and gotten babies, so we know that it's not always 100% accurate.

Since this thread got bumped up, I'd like to reiteriate that I did indeed O on my right and am having a GIRL.

I truly believe what ovary drops the egg has nothing to do with gender of the baby, just the cirumstances that may come into play (such as right sided ovaulations tend to mean you could be more highly fertile, etc, and those things are swaying blue, NOT the ovary itself determing gender.)

I agree completely!! Well said! :)

In fact, you often will have more severe O pains on the ovary you DON'T ovulate from, because when the egg is released it kind of relieves the pressure from the dominant follicle, while the other ovary remains full of half-developed eggs that then have to be reabsorbed.

I'm feeling pain on my right side this morning and I feel great about this! Thank you Atomic!

:agree: Zanacal has a thread on this somewhere, she had quite bad pain on the right side the month she conceived and did indeed O from the left as confirmed by ultrasound. GIRL!!

I've had scans the last 3 cycles which has revealed I ovulated on my left side each time. There's nothing wrong with my right side... So they don't always alternate each cycle. It's all about the biggest follicle... More fertiliser on my left side! :-)

This seems interesting but I know not accurate.. I get O pains from the left side.. I don't know what that means

Yes the notion that you alternate sides has been totally debunked. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Do you have boys or girls (sorry I should prob know that but it's impossible for me to keep everyone straight, I apologize.)
