C :: Fgetc Assigning Input To Character

What I am doing is using fgetc to take a char input from the user, and then directly after that calling a function which will clear the buffer and remove the character. But for some odd reason all my inputs are being assigned before taking the char input by the user. Here is my code for the relative problem:

Code:
char playAgain; Code: playAgain = fgetc(stdin);
readRestOfLine(); Code: void readRestOfLine(void) {
int ch;
/* remove all characters from the buffer */
while(ch = getc(stdin), ch!='
' && ch!=EOF)
;
/* clear the error status of the input pointer */
clearerr(stdin);
}

And en example through terminal of the issue, with print statements debugging the value of play Again:

So in both instances here I have entered 'y', one returning it as ASCII 10 which is ' ' and ASCII 121 which is 'y'.
