Ovarian Cyst

[kambrosino07]

When i was 17 i had a cyst removed on my right ovary, i am 20 now. They ended up having to remove my ovary and faloian tube also. My question is since i only have one oavry do i ovulate every other month or will my body compinsate for my missing ovary and i will ovulate every month?

ooops   that should be oophorectomy....  two "o" s  ...

I think removal of an entire ovary is called an ovariectomy or sometimes ophorectomy.
But I am not sure!!  

I am not sure what the removal of just the cyst is called....?  Anyone out there know?

I don't really know of any websights but if you google  "ovarian cysts"  you might find something.  Try not to scare yourself though, the sites tend to be so scary.  My doctor says the Internet really freaks people out!!  There is so much out there....  

Best wishes, ask us anything, maybe we can help....

I lost an ovary in my teens too.  I had one ovary for many years, and had quite regular periods.  
One does the job of two, like lungs and kidneys I guess!  I also had three gorgeous kids.  I stayed on the Pill though until I wanted to get pregnant, to suppress ovulation.  This was of course back in olden times  (the 70s!!).
Make sure you have your doctor monitor that other ovary carefully.   Go for regular checkups.
Best wishes,
