One Ovary Short Of A Pair

I realize this has nothing to do with Celiac Disease, but I am very curious if anyone has any info about chances of pregnancy for someone with only one ovary. Aug 2, I had my right ovary removed and although I am happy that the problem is gone- I am scared that my chances are very slim now. If anyone has any reassuring thoughts to share- I'd be greatful for any info.

Thank you so much,

Gabby

Hi Gabby

I don't have any statistics, but wanted to share that my sister had only one ovary and it was even in a very bad shape. The tube partially blocked with some misplaced tissue. However, she has two beautiful children conceived naturally :D

At age 19 (1961) I had my right ovary removed. I had a daughter, naturally. I also had a period every month. Your remaining ovary does the work of two. Friends said it was great that I would only have a period every other month, but that is not the case. You only need one to get pregnant. :) Armetta

Thanks guys, that's pretty reassuring!!

jenvan- Hello! Yes my surgery was not as bad as I had thought it would be-except for the fact that the doctors could not salvage my poor ovary. Besides that I am doing well, already walking about and can't wait for my recovery to be over!!!

You all are wonderful, I really appreciate the support!!

:) Gabby

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
