also what is the survival rate and the likelyhood of recurrence in this stage and what after a hysterectomy is the treatment if any?
What stage is ovarian cancer in if it was in the uterus wall and the ovary?
Here's a website that goes into detail on the stages:

Reply:It's really hard to determine how far the cancer is. The best answer would be to ask a doctor. Usually when the cancer gets to the ovaries and being noticed, means that it as progressed. Your chances of survival can be good or bad depending on what type of cancer. There's the dormant one and the maleficent one. In an other word, after having the operation, you'll know for sure where you stand.

In angiosperms, do all the ovules in an ovary have to be fertilized for the fruit to form?
all of them or just one?
In angiosperms, do all the ovules in an ovary have to be fertilized for the fruit to form?
1) No all the ovules need not be fertilized . A few of them would do .
2 ) In seedless plants the fruit formation continues irrespective of fertilization.

How is it going the experiences about the ovary cancer cure?
Ovarian cancer is proving to be a tough nut to crack. It is not common, but very deadly, as most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. Screening tests, including ultrasound, CT scans, and lab/blood tests have not proven to be of much benefit, even in high-risk patients. Even removing the ovaries does not guarantee freedom from ovarian cancer, as the cells lining the abdominal cavity are similar to those lining he ovary, and can cause primary peritoneal cancer in patients without ovaries. Having said that, removing the ovaries does dramatically reduce the risk.

Anyone with poly-cystic ovary had a successful conception?
I have poly-cystic ovary syndrome and am trying to conceive anybody with the same disorder had any luck. What's your strategy?
Anyone with poly-cystic ovary had a successful conception?
Sorry to hear about your PCOS. I really hope that you are able to conceive soon. I thought I would share an article from a magazine of mine that might help you:
"Polycystic ovaries and infertility
A major cause of infertility in women is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affection around 25 percent of women. This is the cause of about 75 percent of ovulation problems. In PCOS, the ovaries are bigger than normal with an abnormally large number of small follicles, which are sacs of fluid that grow around the eggs.
The follicles don't mature which means that ovulation can't happen and eggs are rarely released for fertilisation. This has a profound effect on a woman's fertility. Women who suffer from PCOS have scanty periods or, in some cases, none at all. They may also suffer from obesity, bad skin and excess hair.
Becoming pregnant again
If tests show you're not ovulating, you may be offered drug treatment alone, ovarian stimulatio, ovarian diathermy or IVF, depending on several factors including your medical history, weight, age, length of your fertility problems and the method that proved successful for you last time.
If you're overweight, you may be asked to lose weight before you are offered treatment, as this is often all that's needed to cure PCOS and these treatments are more effective in women whose weight falls within normal limits. Treatments you may be offered inclue:
Drug treatment:
Clomiphene citrate is the drug most commonly used in women with PCOS and results in ovulation in around 80 percent of women, with a pregnancy rate of about 50 percent after six months of treatment. If this doesn't work for you, you may be offered injectible hormones to stimulate ovulation. You'll have blood tests and scans to check your ovaries aren't being over-stimulated.
Ovarian diathermy:
Also known as 'ovarian drilling', this is a surgical treatment that triggers ovulation in up to 80 percent of women with PCOS who have not responded to medication or weight loss. After treatment 60 to 80 percent of wommen go on to become pregnant within a year.
The chance of pregnancy is higher in women who have had fertility poblems for less than three years, as well as those with higher levels of luteinising hormone (LH). The operation is performed under a light general anaesthetic via a laparoscopy and an electric current or laser, which is used to 'drill' small holes into the ovaries. This can either restore ovulation or make the ovaries more sensitive to drugtreatment.
The main risk associated with the proedure is accidental damage to internal organs or blood vessels, and of course, the usual risks associated with general anaesthesia. "
Good luck!
Reply:I have PCO as do a couple of my friends. My Consultant told me that we still produce eggs but just not so many of them (for example say 7 eggs out of 12 months not the usual one a month). Trying to put it delicately, I was told that should I wish to conceive, I should increase the frequency I have sex with my partner. Also, there is a drug that is supposed to help with conception (name of which I have forgotten!) that is prescribed by your doctor.
I do know of at least 2 women who have this problem and now have very healthy children. Good luck
Reply:I have a hormonal imbalance that causes the same effect on ovulation as PCOS and many of my 'infertility' group have this. All of us have managed to conceive and give birth to beautiful children. The majority of them used a variety of combinations of fertility drugs and I believe glucophage, as well. If you haven't done this, please consult a fertility expert. There are so many wonderful options out there now!
Reply:Yes and Yes times 2...the trick it to find a doctor that knows what they are doing. PCOS causes some insulin resistance problems that screws everythgin else up, like metabolism and ovulation. I went on the south beach diet, lost 45 lbs ( i need to loose it anyweays) and took a small does of glucophage a diabetic medication. within 2 months I was loosing weight well, got my normal period back and in 6 montths I was preggo.....sometimes if it is very sever you might need some infertility treatments but I would suggest this method first
best of luck
Reply:Tell me when u get pregnant.. I also haf the same problem and was told conceiving would be difficult :(
Reply:My best friend just did, she's six weeks pregnant today!!! She worked with her doctor and took clomed (SPELL?).

My wife who is 26years old underwent an laprascopic surgery with removal of right ovary. We are just married.?
Need to know, what will be the post results. Will she be able to become pregnant again? what is the reason for such a removal?
My wife who is 26years old underwent an laprascopic surgery with removal of right ovary. We are just married.?
reason u need to ask her. could have been a cyst or fibroids but if the other ovary is good u guys could still get pregnant it just may be harder for u guys and she my need to take drugs to get her to ovulate to better yawls chances
Reply:You need to sit down with her doctors and talk about it, but my answer would be that she could absolutely still get pregnant with one ovary. Not to worry. :^)
Reply:well buddy....
removal of a single ovary simply means that the chances of pregnancy are reduced to half.......
well technically speaking a female can have 400 eggs ..... thats is 400 kids in her life.......
now at the age of 26 years she has already lost....around 156 chances of pregnancies............
rest chances are now reduced to half........
actually these removal procedures are done n case of poly cyctic ovarian syndrome......... or some other cases.......
Note:
since the operation was successful........ wish her a speedy recovery...... and simply dont worry abt the rest.....
wish u a happy married life.....
Reply:I went under the same surgery for cists removals and a possible removal of the ovary. and that was one of my main concerns on whether or not I would be able to get pregnant or not and they told me that women all over get pregnant with one ovary. So I don't think you will have to worry about it to much. But make sure you ask these questions to your dr. she will be able to give you a better reinsurance. And if your wife had issues with cists on her ovaries that could have been a reason for the removal. Good luck and congrats on your marriage!!

Reply:ummmm
she should but there is a low probability
Reply:There is many reasons why your wife may of had her ovary removed, tumors, cysts, abnormalities etc etc..
There is nothing to worry about it will make it a little more difficult to fall pregnant but not by any huge means. It would just mean that you will only have a chance to fall pregnant off one ovary instead of the 2.
Go to the chemist and get yourself some ovulation kits if you are concerned about her chances of ovulating and start to use them every 2nd day 2 weeks after her last period. I am sure that you will find out everything is ok with her ;)
Reply:Ask her. Your wife should know why she had to have this procedure (laporoscopy), at the very least, the hospital would have had to have her informed consent to it. Even if quite young this is not done lightly and if she doesn't know she needs to talk with her doctor.
Removal of an ovary is probably due to ovarian cysts.
Any after-surgery scarring can affect the potential to become pregnant.
If only one ovary was removed and her uterus is intact then she should still be able to become pregnant.
She will only be ovulating from one ovary now and under the circumstances, a chat with your doctor needs to take place to clarify the situation.
Reply:my cousin had her ovary removed because of poly cystic ovary and she's gotten pregnant 5 times since. I think it all depends on your hormone balance.

Is this true? does a hetrogenious lesion in your ovary mean you have a higher chance of having ovarian?
cancer? I heard this of a few doctors, and just wanted to know if it is true. This was revield in an internal ultrasound on the 2nd of May this year. It is a hetrogenious lession on the right ovary with fluid around it. I was getting abnormal bleeding in 2006 and end of last year. I am booked in for a hystocomy (D and C) and a biopsy. Please let me know your opinions.
Is this true? does a hetrogenious lesion in your ovary mean you have a higher chance of having ovarian?
You are doing the right thing, going for a D and C and biopsy.
It is not 100% that heterogenous ovarian lesions are cancers.
Good luck.

What is polycystic ovary syndrome?
I have Polycystic ovary syndrome. My husband and I have been trying for a baby. with no luck and everything the doctors are saying is not helping. We had been tring of about a year when they said that I had PCOS. and we have been tring for 5 years. what should I do?
What is polycystic ovary syndrome?
Hope this helps you:
Introduction
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition most often characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth and obesity, but it can affect women in a variety of ways. Irregular or heavy periods may signal the condition in adolescence, or polycystic ovary syndrome may become apparent later when a woman has difficulty becoming pregnant.
The signs and symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome stem from a disruption in the reproductive cycle, which normally culminates each month with the release of an egg from an ovary (ovulation). The name polycystic ovary syndrome comes from the appearance of the ovaries in some women with the disorder — large and studded with numerous cysts (polycystic). These cysts are follicles, fluid-filled sacs that contain immature eggs.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age in the United States, affecting an estimated 5 percent to 10 percent. Early diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome can help reduce the risk of long-term complications, which include diabetes and heart disease.

Reply:You can try in-vitro fertilization. Just because your ovaries aren't passing eggs into the fallopian tubes like they're supposed to doesn't mean you can't produce any. In IVF, they draw eggs from you and sperm from your husband and conceive outside the body. Then they plant the fertilized ovum into your uterus. You'll take fertility drugs for awhile to make sure it takes hold, but if your healthy in the rest of your womanhood there shouldn't be a problem.
The only drawbacks to this procedure is it could be pricey, and the possibility of mulitiple births run higher than natural pregnancies. But hey, it's an instant family right? I'd love to get it done all at once. =)
Good luck to you. We've been trying for 5 years too. But, my situation is a bit more serious and not looking good. I do know how frustrated you feel.
Reply:My sister has had PCOS for years. She wouldn't get her period until she lost weight. I don't know if you have a weight problem, but if you do it would help to get some off, even a little. It's very difficult for PCOS sufferers to do this, but I can attest to it helping my sister a lot. There are many of sites on the web to help.
