No problem!  I know, all of this can be pretty confusing, especially when you're being "bombarded" with technical information from your doctor :-) But if you remember, ask them if there are any "antral follicles" on your left. Antral follicles are the resting follicles that can potentially develop and produce mature eggs. Good luck!

thanks so much!! i will be going back to the dr. next week so i will ask them to make sure there are folicles, i might have just misunderstood but they told me i was not ovulating at all on the left side, just when i think i have things figured out, i confuse myself everytime!

Hmmm...I'm a little confused. What does he mean about no eggs on the left side? Are there no follicles on your left side at all? Clomid will not help if you only ovulate on the right side and the right tube is blocked. Maybe he meant that your right side seems to be the dominant side, but that you still have eggs on the left. If so, then clomid can help increase the number of developing eggs, and hopefully, get you a mature one (or maybe two) on the left side, where your tube is open. Lots of women have gotten pregnant with just one open tube, and clomid usually help increase their chances, since it can help recruit follicles on their "good" side. Best of luck with everything!
