That's amazing that the other ovary takes over if there is only one! Aren't our bodies ust wonderful!

Ive just read this on another site as my friend has same problem.

A newborn girl has about 1-2 million egg cells, and by puberty there are about 300,000 left in both ovaries. Even with one ovary removed, you have about 150,000 eggs left over, so your chances of getting pregnant are excellent. Also, because the remaining ovary usually takes over, you can expect to ovulate every month. Ovulating every month means that you can get pregnant every month, even with one ovary.

hope this helps.

From what I understand the ovaries take turns at releasing eggs each month so she probably only ovulates 6 times a year rather than 12 as she only has one ovary. Read that in a uni text book somewhere.

There shouldn't be. If she still has one ovary and its working fine than she should be able to have a baby.
