Ovulation refers to the time when a woman's eggs are released from the ovaries to the fallopian tubes. It usually starts on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle and lasts about 4-5 days. For many women, ovulation is an important time for them to have sex because it is at this time that the egg and sperm meet and combine to become a fertilized egg, which begins implantation and development.

So, does everyone ovulate on both sides during ovulation? The answer is not so. Normally, a woman's eggs are released in only one ovary, usually the left. Therefore, if a woman has only one ovary working during her menstrual cycle, they will only release eggs from one side during ovulation.

While not all women ovulate on both sides, for those with only one ovary functioning, their ovulation days may differ. If you want to know exactly when you ovulate, it's best to talk to your doctor or professional health care provider.
