Brenda asks: Can a woman ovulate more than once in one cycle? I have found conflicting information in medical articles, a few saying no you can't, and a few saying yes you can. So what is the real answer?

The answer to this question is yes and no. A woman can release more than one egg in one cycle (as is often the case while taking fertility drugs) but she can not really ovulate more than one time in the cycle. If there are multiple eggs released, they are released within about a 24 hour period, so she still only has one day of ovulation.
