I just had one ovary and fallopian tube removed and my doctor told me that this will have no effect on fertility. In fact, the remaining ovary will adjust to the loss of the other ovary and ovulate every month. However, I have noticed feeling extra emotional since the surgery, but I think this is related to general anathesia and not hormonal changes.

FYI- I had an ovary and tub removed when I was 18. everyone told me it would be okay but reality is that less than 10 years later I still do not have children. I have been trying for over 3 years and the doctor thinks the possible infertility could be due a number of things. BUT probably the scar tissue and continuous cyst ruptures/liasions I most occurred undetected.
I have one last procedure to help determine my problem however even this procedure could cause complications/scar tissue. With all the doctors I have seen, I get the sense that even the most educated still don't have a great understanding of cysts and cyst related problems. Plus, new medical advancements/research are always changing the current preception in the field. Moral of the story-why worry? you can never really know until a baby is born. There are so many options out there to have a child. JUST START SAVING $$$$ FOR POSSIBLE PROCEDURES AND READ SOME BOOKS ON PATIENCE

My daughter is 19 and has to have her right ovary and fallopian tube removed because of various adhesions and cysts. What are her chances of having a successful pregnancy in the future? And, what are the difficuties women with one ovary and fallopian tube face? Will she be required to take hormones?
I was born with one tube and one ovary and have 2 beautiful children, they are now 15 & 18. I would not even worry, if children are meant for the future, it will happen. I have never had to take hormones and everything seems to work fine.[/quote][/quote]
