Odd facts about ovarian cysts

Women ovulate monthly, unless they are on a hormonal contraception or have a hormonal imbalance, from the time they go through puberty until age of menopause: so about 400 times.

Which ovary is your good one?

Yes! There are differences between your right and left ovary! But, a bit of a stretch to say which ovary is really your good ones.
