But isn't it not just where the embryo implants but the placenta? So the egg could come out of whichever ovary implant on whichever side of the uterus and the according to the ramzi theory isn't it the placement of the placenta itself, not the whole embryo?

[rainbowflower]

I thought the location of implantation was where the placenta initially formed? that's what the books say.. and Ramzi says that it's the location at around 6 weeks that's important so it wouldn't have moved far from the implantation site in that time?

I also imagine (I didn't read all the posts yet about this conversation) but the Ramzi theory and subjects for a study were not swaying. So I don't know if the results could apply to women that are swaying iukwim!

i dont know if i believe in the ramzi theory.
i dont believe in the ovulation side producing a particular sex, i have had 4 boys from both sides, and since my ectopic i now only have my left tube.
at my 6 weeks scan this pregnancy, it had implanted right in the middle.

it is totally right about the dominant ovary thing.
they say most women have one side that ovulates 80% of the time or more, and the other side just ovulates occasionally.
mine was my right, which was also the side of my ectopic.
which explains why women with only one tube or one ovary have so much trouble falling pregnant, its not that they are doing anything wrong, its just that they have to wait untill the right side pops, and in some cases that may only be once a year.

good luck with your scan today auroara, looking forward to an update...

Dannikins, I hope you are right about the ovary thing!!

I measured exactly 8 weeks + 1 day...I did concieve this child on Christmas Day!!!

The baby is healthy, measuring perfectly, nice yolk sac, etc etc

The baby looked to be point blank in the MIDDLE of my uterus, and the ultrasound tech was very pissy and would not indulge in ramzi in the least.

She was even a bit pffed that I asked about ovary side, and after saying it would be too hard to tell, she then announced that my right ovary has a nice sized cyst on it, so that is the side I o'ed from.

Now, I am kind of eating my words, but I'm going back over and going to research all I can and hope that right ovary does not always mean boy every single time, though I would love him, of course.

Will update later with a pic of the scan for fun!

thanks for all the warm wishes

DOH!!! I just left you a message on the preggy thread b/c I thought you may post there 1st. Been waiting for an update on your scan and logged on specifically to see if you were back yet...

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! I'm so glad everything looks perfect and you got to see your bean. I'm doing a happy dance for you!!!

[HopeandDreamG]

Auroara~ YAY YAY YAY for healthy bean..AND there is NO WAY that only one gender comes from one side- NO WAY, that just doesn't make sense and it doesn't take into account ALL the other variables at play to determine gender. YAY for healthy sticky bean..and boooo to annoying tecs!

Where r u reading the info on the ramzi theory? I want to check it out to.

[HopeandDreamG]

Mocha~ more good news for you tomorrow..will be thinking of you

I hate pissy tech's. I feel like they just do it all the time so it means nothing but routine for them, I get that; but these moments are special for us ladies who are NOt there all the time and they could at least appease us with a warm and gentle dimeaner.
Anyhow, I would not worry. I was looking over my IVF cycle papers this afternoon after all this right side left side talk. Anyhow, On my 2nd IVF cycle, they retreived 2 eggs from the left and 5 from the right. 7 in total and 7 fertilized. After PGD, we found we could only tell the gender for 4. We had 3 abnormal "I don't know's" because they were so abnormal. 1 abnormal xx & 3 normal xx. So we had a known 4 out of 7 girls and they had only gotten 2 eggs from the left side. So that means that I had to have some eggs on the right side that were fertilized female.
I am just saying, maybe that is true some of the time, but not other times. I was looking at u/s pics of my boys this afternoon as well and with my 1st son I could not tell. With my 2nd d/s he was definitely on the right. But with my 3rd d/s it appeared he was clearly on the left. ??? Not sure I am buying the ramzi.....

Glad the scan went well, auroara. I wouldn't worry about the side you O'd from a bit. People with one tube seem to be able to make babies of both genders, so that proves the theory can't always be right.

I guess I'm next. Everyone send me healthy baby vibes...and hopefully ONE healthy baby and not twins!! My scan's tomorrow at 1:30pm EST.
