How is ovulation connected to mensturation? And how is this affectted by having one ovary?

Question

It's just that from another question people were saying that if you have one ovary it's more difficult to get pregnant because when you have two ovaries they tend to alternate in terms of ovulation. Does this not then imply that you should also have your period on and off if you have one ovary?

Answer 1

well when you ovulate, your egg travels into the fallopian tube and then into the uterus, if not impregnated with sperm, then you have your period. And having one ovary should not matter.

Answer 2

The whole idea of the menstrual cycle is based on the fact that every month a woman's bodt prepares to carry a fetus. Your uterus begins to build up a thicker wall that will help the egg implant. Then, during that time your ovary will be maturing one egg cell to send down the fallopian tudes. When that is matured it will burst out of your ovary travel toward the uterus. That's ovulation. If the egg never gets fertilized by sperm the uterus sheds it's contents during menstruation. Menstruation occurs becasue your ovary doesn't secrete a hormone that tells it to keep the thickened wall in there. With one ovary there's really no difference. Your body can adjust to that and you'll have a normal cycle.

Answer 3

you ovulate every month normally every 14 days you have to ovulate to realise the egg to get pregnant if you don't fertilise the egg then it becomes a period are you sure you have 1 ovaries have you spoken to Dr about this he should have gave more advice out
