How easy/hard is it to get pregnant with just one ovary?
486004
Reading current statistics, there is really no difference in getting pregnant having just one ovary, compared to having two.

The average ovary measures about 1.5cm x 3.5cm, or roughly the size of a walnut. There is considerable individual variation, however, and normal ovaries up to 5cm (a little bigger than a golf ball) are not uncommon.

You are ovulating. The pain should be confined to one side of your abdomen.

yes it is possible to become pregnant although very difficult.  a high fsh means either low ovarian reserve or low quality of the eggs.  most physicians recommend egg donors but i have heard of many women with a high fsh doing ivf and becoming pregnant with their own eggs.

well the chances are higher during ovulation but really there is a chance of getting pregnant at ANY time.  Although the statistics say that a woman only has a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month accidents happen all the time and seems like the percentage is a little higher.  SO if you dont want to get pregnant protect yourself at all times :)

Yes, it's possible. The egg might be fertilized and get fixed in one of the oviduct. This has happened to me too. I had 2 options to make sure I wouldn't get pregnant. \n1. Take the so called 'second day' pill in  maximum 72 hours since the sexual contact. But it has some side effects, including unbalancing the hormone level in the body. \n2. If no more than 12 hours passed to to a gynecologist to prescribe you birth control pills.\n\nI for one, chose the second option and I haven't got pregnant. 4 hours had passed. I also tried the first option when I was ovulating (more probably to become pregnant) and I had a period in the following 5 days.\n\nIMPORTANT! these help only if the egg hasn't fixed yet. Anyway, the first step is a visit to the gynecologist.\n*hugs

30-35% chance of becoming pregnant.  First, you have to ovulate at the right time.  Then you have to have intercourse at the right time and the sperm have to find their way to the correct fallopian tube which has the ovulating ovary at the end.  The sperm are fighting pH and all kinds of other "killer" stuff in your vagina, cervix, and uterus.  Half of them die for the "good" of the others and it's a rough time.  Finally, they have to break through the egg's defenses.  So, if everything was perfectly timed, then you could be pregnant.  It's almost like a game of chance.\n\nGood luck!

Doubtful.  You need to ovulate first.

anemia (lack of iron and malnutrition), pregnancy (yes you can get pregnant in your first ovulation), hormones (either hormone therapy or the pill), infections or cysts.\n\nEdit ....\n\nBut this are rare cases, not all women begin their periods at the same age, some begin as late as 18 or 20 years old.\n\nEdit2 \nMenstruation Stopping \n(or Never Starting at Puberty)\nWomen who have had normal periods that stop for 6 months or more are said to have amenorrhea, or the absence of menstruation. This is called secondary amenorrhea. Girls who have not begun to menstruate by the age of 16 have primary amenorrhea. \n\nIn some women, menstruation stops or never starts because their ovaries do not respond properly to the hormones that normally trigger release of an egg. These women cannot ovulate on their own and menstruation is not possible without ovulation. Some women do not produce enough estrogen to ovulate. Other causes of amenorrhea are ovarian cysts and obstructions or other problems in the reproductive tract. \n\nA variety of other factors can cause menstruation to stop, including: \n\nVigorous exercise (sometimes not the only cause—periods should return as the training schedule is reduced) \nObesity \nPoor nutrition (including anorexia) \nDiabetes \nChronic, nonalcoholic liver disease \nAny chronic illness \nTuberculosis \nMedications such as birth control pills, narcotics, major tranquilizers, and cancer chemotherapy drugs \nIn rare cases of primary amenorrhea, there is no opening in the hymen through which blood can flow. About one-third of girls with primary amenorrhea have a genetic disorder or a congenital problem with their reproductive tract.

You shouldn't rush things for a start. There's no need to worry about fertillity unless you have been trying for at least a year without any results. I don't really know what to say as you are so irregular but just keep trying. Women wishing to conceive should make love every other day for a ten day period during the middle of their cycle. Studies have shown that five days before and five days after the projected ovulation date are the most promising times to become pregnant. Stay away from lemon juice, it kills sperm, not just directly but by also altering acid levels in the body. Stay away from things high in caffiene, it reduces the chances of conception in both men and women. Tea is ok though, actually, if taking an infusion from 125g (4oz) or more of black or green tea a day can double or even triple your chances of conception. Say NO to alcohol whilst trying for a baby. Also soya products are bad for conception as they can reduce the sperm count in men, they have chemicals that mimic the action of female hormones. That's all i know and i really hope it helps. Good luck!!!

Contrary to what 2LTgrl51 says, it is possible for ovulation to take place more than once a month.  I have worked in the OB/GYN field for more than 18 years, and I can tell you of many instances where this has happened, such as, fraternal twins, etc.  Every woman does not have "textbook" periods and ovulation, and if she did, there would be no use for any birth control method because you could accurately predict when ovulation was occurring.  Whether it is "normal" or not, I would say that it can be "normal" if it is normal for that person.

Yes, you can become pregnant at any time.  It is more likely that you will be ovulating on days 12-15 of your cycle, but if your cycle is not normal or very predictable, you can become pregnant at any given time.

the one ovary will produce all the hormones you need.

Check out a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I'm pretty sure that's the title. It helps you read the signs so you know when you ovulate and helps you decide the best time for intercourse. \n\nThere's also a book called The Fastest Way To Get Pregnant Naturally.\n\nIf you've been trying for more than a year, you may want to see a specialist to rule out any fertility problems.\n\nAnd in answer to the lady's question below: 5 children is NOT enough! I have 7. :-)

There is such a thing called PCOS which stands for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.  Although you first have hormone imbalances which cause the cysts, the cysts will causes additional hormone imbalances.  So, it's a vicious circle.  You can read much more about it, get advice, and discuss things at http://www.soulcysters.com .  However, if you just have one cyst on your ovaries, this is probably not what you have, and it is probably not preventing you from getting pregnant.
