Hello 😊

I had my left ovary removed some years ago now and my right ovary “took over”.

In my experience in took a few months to sort itself out after the shock of the surgery but yes, it was then business as usual!

Thank you how old was you when you had it removed If you don’t mind me asking and what was your reasons. I’m 38 and my surgeon said mine was basically strangled and covered in endometriosis. My body feels so battered but I think I’m ovulating at the moment which is obviously a good sign, I think I’ve just got so much anxiety from everything that’s gone on it’s nice to hear positive stories xx

It was a while ago so I can’t remember exactly, but I guess mid thirties? And for the same reason, it had been been eaten up by the endometriosis so it wasn’t able to do its job. Also I was constantly having cysts develop on that side and removing the ovary stopped that.

I did go on to fall pregnant with the remaining ovary; I guess that’s why we get two! Good luck x

My experience was similar to Chrissie66

I was 41 when I had one ovary removed due to a large endometriosis cyst wrapping itself around the ovary . The other one went at 55 with further surgery

My consultant said it might be have something we have to consider, and I did the AMH blood test and had a very healthy egg count which was reinsuring at almost 36. So I’m not sure if that’s something you might want to consider to give you a peace of mind. Hope your surgery goes well
