Hi!
Unfortunately, the ablation does permanent damage to your uterus.  I am not aware of any cases of women getting pregnant after an ablation and we definitely recommend against it!  If your ovaries are still in good shape ( a day 3 FSH level and an antral follicle count are the best way to measure that) you could have a genetic child if you hired a surrogate. Maybe you know some wonderful woman who would be willing to help out?
Good luck!
Dr B
