I've just been told I have 3 ovaries. After 2 kids you think this would have been discovered before! Does anyone have any information on this? I have to wait a few days before I see my OB-GYN and I've been searching the web and not finding much. Any and all info would be appreciated.

Hi there.. I have never heard of that before so I am sorry I don't have any information for you... although I think since you've had 2 kids that it hasn't seemed to have any negative effects on you.. which is good. Isn't it funny there is probably so much we dont' know about our own bodies... My BIL didn't realize he only had one kidney til he was in his 30's!!! (I bet had he known he might've treated it better!!) hehe

Let us know what you find out.

Hi Hun

Wow! I have never heard of this before, did they say whether it is a functioning ovary, or just an extra one?

One of my friends has three nipples, and actually lactated from it when she was breastfeeding.

Please keep us updated, I would love to learn more about it.

A girlfriend of mine in high school had 4 nipples - we used to tease her that she was good breeding stock, and to prepare for a litter.

Hi Suzie dee,

Not sure yet. Just found out about it, I call it my third eye! Tech said I had lots of

follicles, great just what I need. No more babies for me! I'll keep the board updated. This can't be all that rare. But if I had to have 3 of something, glad it's not nipples!!!
