Possible To Conceive With One Ovary And Uterine Tube?

5.     Lucy had both her left ovary and her right uterine tube removed surgically at age 17 because of a cyst and a tumor in these organs. Now at age 32, she remains healthy and is expecting her second child. How could Lucy conceive a child with just one ovary and one uterine tube, widely separated on opposite sides of the pelvis like this?

Hi,

I guess your concern is about can Lucy get pregnant with one ovary and uterine tube. Firstly I would likely to tell my answer- YES LUCY CAN BECOME PREGNANT. You have told Lucy got operated at the age of 17 and now lucy is planning for second child.

But you have not shared the information with us about the first child of lucy, whether the first child was born before operation or after operation. so with this half information it is difficult to comment the exact chances of getting pregnant.however i can say she can become pregnant as she still 32 yrs.

I would like to focus the word fertile period. from the 10th to 16th day of menstural cycle, the chances of getting pregnant is more. THE OVUM GET FERTILIZED WITH THE SPERM, women becomes pregnant, thats why it is called fertile period. So if lucy does coitus/sex with her husband in this period, chances of getting pregnant r more. If this fails, don't worry here comes the advantage of latest technology of 21st century to become pregnant.

The name of the technology is ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNIQUES (ART). Its difficult to discuss in detail about this in this short message. After reading this try out my advice:

1. encourage Lucy to have sex/ coitus in the fertile period for next 3-4 months. Remember the mechanism I have told above. Hopefully this will give result.

2. if lucy in a hurry to get second child, visit a nearby gynecologist/ infertility specialist to discuss the chances of getting pregnant n also to known the pros and cons of ART.

I hope the information is useful, informative and helpful for query about Lucy. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr Sudha Rani Panagar
