I had an ophrectomy (ovary surgery) 2 years ago and I have a regular period, Can I conceive a child?

My understanding (but I could be wrong) is that an oophorectomy is surgery to remove an entire ovary and in some cases just a portion of one. If you have removed both ovaries then you would not be able to conceive a child naturally - there is no place for the eggs to grow and be released. If you only had one removed or if you only had part of one removed and still have a functional ovary on the other side then you may be able to have a child.





Without ovaries, your only option for child birth is to use IVF and an egg donor.





You should visit a fertility specialist and go through some testing.





Best wishes!
