Is there a doctor in the house who can help?

I am not a doctor, but yes.

AzureStar said:

Yes u can help or yes she can get pregnant?

bkk1981 said:

Yes, she can get pregnant. The eggs are still being released from the one ovary that is working.

AzureStar said:

Oh lordy.

I jut found this:

Q: I had my left ovary removed some years ago. Does that mean I can only get pregnant every other month and will I be less likely to get pregnant?

A: 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 and because the remaining ovary usually takes over you are expected to ovulate every month.
Ovulating every month means that you can get pregnant every month, even with one ovary.

One ovary or one tube you still can become pregnant.

AzureStar said:

Oh. I don't know how to feel.

AzureStar said:

But thank u very much for your help.

BKK1981 yes you can get pregnant. My
cousin had three kids. I hope this helps.

This is a question that the average person should know the answer to, as it has to do with basic fertility, so I think it's a good question. Also, a man with one testicle can still make children. Aren't most schools still covering this stuff?
I hope so...

Yep that can happen so u better be careful!

That's what I'M saying...

I knew, kinda, but she has such a history of problems and at the hospital they gave us a leaflet about artificial insemination or something like, in Thai of course. I just put 1 + 1 + 1 together and got 5.

SuperiorTe said:

Still, we don't know yet because she won't go to the hospital.

Silly girl.

If a woman only has one working ovary yes it's possible to get pregnant,but just like a woman with a tilted uterus it's going to take some time and some advice from the doctor concerning health issues and other things.

I'm confused. Is SuperiorTe and bkk1981 the same person? Or do they just coincedentally have the same problem? and are they both 21 as well...

You know I think they are one and the same!

SuperiorTe be happy, some people never have children!

Hey, I don't know yet. But I know if we do have a nipper it's going to make things even more complicated than they already are. Only just managed to get my folks to come out to meet her, and that went amazingly well. I don't want to rock the boat now.

Well SuperiorTe unfortunately you weren't careful enough and now you have to deal with the consequences! If you're not ready to have children then you should take precautions. You have many options, but make sure the feelings are mutual. Your girlfriend is going to need lots of support. And although it does seem like a burden right now I believe that things happen for a reason and it could actually be one of the best things that happen to you.

So don't freak out just yet...and wear a fucking rubber!

Whoa, waaay too much information there buddy! We don't need to know about her past. What matters now is the present and future.

CarrieLee said:

sorry, just kinda confused. don't really know what to think because there are too many factors involved.

Ah a subject i know something about, the chances of getting pregnant with only one ovary are only reduced by a small percentage.

The reason is that the hypothalamic pituitary/ovarial feedback mechanism which causes ovulation works nearly as well with one as with two ovaries

Even if the fallopian tube ob the side of the working ovary is blocked there is only a small reduction in fertility!

yes, you can absolutely get pregnant with only one ovary. Good luck!

that was a kind of "good luck now I'm scarpering off down the street glad it's not me" kind of good luck.
