We were trying to get pregnant for 2 years with no luck.I recently underwent surgery to remove 1 of my ovaries. Now I think I may be pregnant but can that really happen with 1 ovary? It's only been 3 months since the surgery?

Yes, it can happen.

Your body normally alternates which ovary it releases an egg from each month; I don't know if that now means it only kicks out an egg every other month, or if you produce one every month from the remaining ovary, but there's always a chance you can get pregnant.

Make an appointment with your doctor right away, to confirm the pregnancy and to prepare a plan so you can carry this baby to term. Good luck to you both!

Thanx. I went to the Doc today and she assured me that the remaining ovary is producing one egg every month, so I have the same chance of becoming pregnant as I did with two. Bad news is that I have a higher chance of early menopause. No baby at this point but if it's meant to happen it will!!

Yes, my mum had an eptopic pregancy, so she was left with one ovary. And, i am proof it can happen. I don't know how long you should wait after having surgery. Maybe best to wait a bit.

As far as I am aware the ovaries release one egg each so it is very much possible to get pregnant with only one overy.
