Trying for a baby after loosing an ovary

Hi, i last used this forum nearly 2 years ago when i had my right ovary removed due to a large dermoid cyst. I had concerns on weather i would be able to have another baby. I had some answer's back off some really nice people who put my mind at ease and told me it was possible to get pregnant again. A year and a half has passed now, trying for a baby andive had no luck. I went to my doctors 6 months ago who did blood tests and told me i was in working order. Is there anything i should do now a year and a half has passed. I'm 37 and feel time is running out to give my lovely daughter a brother or sister. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm so sorry that you are having a hard time conceiving.  We are not doctors, so the best bet would be to ask your gynecologist what she thinks is going on.  Sometimes when you have an ovary removed it takes time for your hormones to get back in order.  Have they done any type of hormonal tests on you?  I would ask for a FSH, and estrogen and progesterone test.  It could be that you are low on one of the hormones.  Good luck.  I'll say a prayer for you.

Hi,

I was told by my OB/GYN that removal of one ovary has little to no effect on reproduction---the remaining ovary "takes over" the job. Age or other fertility issues may have something to do with it. I would talk to your OB/GYN. They may refer you to a fertility specialist. Best of luck ;)
