When the doctor is checking you out (ie. like an ultrasound to check follicle size) and they refer to left and right ovary. Is it YOUR LEFT or THEIR LEFT?? I know..I'm such a dork but I was just thinking about it

Because my left is his right if he is facing me. LOL! I'm going to say it's from my perspective. Is that right? *pardon the pun*

I always wondered that too~

In medicine it is always your left and right from your own perspective, not theirs. Good question! Dustin asked the same thing at our RE appt.

This is really weird cause DH and I were trying to figure this out this weekend! LOL... Thanks for the info Michelle... I'll be sure to let DH know that I was correct and he was wrong! LOL

Yup- what Michelle said. Correct anatomic position is from your perspective when it comes to right and left.

Oh good! I had it right! I wasn't sure though when I first started thinking about it. Thanks for confirming the info!
