Does Ramzi's theory only include placenta placement, or is it also linked to the side of ovulation? My ultrasound indicated that I ovulated from the left side (based on a corpus luteum cyst on my left ovary), though I have no clue where my placenta is.

Well i dont really believe that theory because with both my boys one was the right and the other was the left,and i know this because my doctor brought it up when i was pregnant with my second she specifically mentioned oh look its the other side this time ,as she keeps all my ultrasound records and looked it up for me,i find it hard to believe that gender would make it choose a certain side?Just seems strange,but i guess we cant really know right?

[Mochagirl]

Oh, I agree, sweetsister - no theory is 100%. I've heard of women with only one tube who still have both genders. I was just curious if side of ovulation is part of Ramzi's theory or whether it's from another study.

DS1 was in the middle top area and DS2 was middle cervics area... so who knows what happened with me!

Thank you Mocha and Hope&Dream. You made me smile and its comforting to know someone understands. Everyone thinks I am looney and sometimes I think I am too.

Nope, has nothing to do with which side you ovulated from. People just assume that if you ovulate from the left it is most likely going to implant on the left/placenta will be on the left hence a girl. But you could ovulate form the right and it implants on the left. That is totally possible. His theory states nothing about which side you ovulate -- that is just a bunch of women conjuring up their own thoughts and opinion. It is all about: between 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, is the placenta on the left side of your uterus or the right?
Atomic is right, the u/s tech needs to know what is the right and left side of your uterus and not the mirror image or her left or right etc. It has to be YOUR left or YOUR right side. Most tech's do not care about theories, are grumpy and will not appease us of our curiosity properly. That does not mean you still can't try.

Tho I have to agree with Sweetsister and say that it is kinda wierd that gender can be determined by which side the placenta is on. As if the embryo knows its a girl and to go to the left side. I don't have much faith myself in good old Ramzi.

LMN7... I started getting pains in my right side i think 6dpo then I was getting alot of pain in my left side ever since then... I forgot to mention my cm was different from about 6dpo aswell. I did get a few kind of yellowish blobs on the toilet paper which made me think AND my cm was just different down there in texture.

P4P, sorry to get muddled. So many seemed to be on clomid this month that I thought you were too! I think you did a brilliant sway. And your spotting sounds like implantation bleeding to me. I just know that once last year when it first happened to me I was convinced I was pg, and then I wasn't. Like Mocha said, just protect your heart a little in case. I will be jumping up and down with you and everyone else when you get your BFP.I don't like to say 'you so deserve it', because obviously everyone on here does, but after we read all that you have been through we just want it all to work out perfectly for you.

well i think the clomid is giving me side affects this time i keep having really hot flushes the last 2 nights and terrible sickness feeling the last 3 nights, never had that with the other 3 times i took it in the past, must be getting old lol,
