I thought your ova were in your belly button ( the little knots you get from having your umbilical cord tied,) for a long time, I used to try and pick them out and my belly button ended up all red and sore and my mom would yell at me, "get your fingers out of you belly button!" I never told her it was because I didn't want to have a baby.
