Ovulation and Alternation


  • Amazing Cycle
    • According to the Amazing Cycle, "The truth is you may alternate every month, but you have a 50/50 chance every month for ovulating on either side, unless there is a medical reason you do not."

  • Babies Online
    • According to Babies Online, "In Healthy women both ovaries can release eggs, but they do not alternate consistently, with the right ovary releasing an egg one month, and the left releasing an egg the next month."

  • Your Right Ovary Rules
According to Your Right Ovary Rules,  "Your right ovary is likelier to ovulate more than the left. This means that in two consecutive months, the right side is probably the one doing more of the hard work producing the dominant follicle that could become a baby. Multiple studies have shown that, in one study 57.7 % of women have right side ovulation, in a second study, 54.5% of women have right side ovulation, and in a third study, 62% of total follicles are on the right. Right side ovulation favors pregnancy more than left side ovulation (64% of pregnancies came from women's right ovaries, according to a study in Japan that tracked 2,700 natural cycles). According to another study,  odds of pregnancy are best when the dominant follicle develops in the ovary opposite to where ovulation took place in the previous cycle (with pregnancy occurring more often in a right side cycle that follows a left side cycle), because dominant follicles in such cycles are healthier. Researchers speculate in a different study the right side is dominant for most of a woman's reproductive years. Towards perimenopause women are more likely to become left dominant. " To see the links to all the different studies mentioned in this paragraph, go to the original article and click where they reference they links to these studies: http://jenapincott.com/your-right-ovary-rules/  

  • Fertil Steril Journal
According to this article, it says, "Our data suggest that IVF and IUI treatment in cycles in which development of the dominant follicle occurs in the right-sided ovary--and ovulation took place from the left-sided ovary in the preceding cycle (contralateral right-sided ovulation)--is likely to show the best pregnancy outcome."
  • Ovulating from both ovaries
It is possible to ovulate from both ovaries, that is how fraternal twins are conceived. Fertility drugs, such as clomid increase the amount of eggs that are released - usually making both ovaries work.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
