If you are 2 months post op you should be ok to start trying. Like my ob told me ( I am pregnant and had a laporotomy) your insides will heal even though your stomach is growing.

Good luck!

Have you had your follow up appointment yet? These are all issues you need to discuss with the gyn nurse - or who ever it is you see! There is no reason why you should be sterile if you have only had 1 ovary removed but you need to heal properly before you even think about getting pregnant

what im more scared of is that my inside stiching is still very weak and i dont want any complications with the incision and then i have to comeback to the staes but i want to know what sign i can see if im able to get pregnant cause i always fear of being sterile.

Yes I am in the same boat and it is generally concidered to be safe to start trying at about 3 months.
