Welcome too,
Now that you know the easy way here is a method using another object, the SOR or
Surface Of Revolution. 
I generally like a bit more of a point to my ovoids so here is the code I used
and for comparison I'll post an image of the scene in p.b.i. The more yellower
object is the scaled sphere and the other is the SOR.
BTW While I was playing with it I found a bug in my modeller, thanks.
