TTC: ladies with one ovary

Wendy

Hello, all!

Would love to hear stories from others on your TTC journey / cycle tracking with only a single ovary / fallopian tube.

Two years ago, right as my husband decided to try to have a little one, was when I suddenly found I had a massive cyst that had taken up my body. My body thought I was pregnant, so I really had very little for signs that something was wrong. At the point of my surgery, the cyst had to be carried with two hands and was about 9 pounds. Because of the size of the cyst and some atypical cells, they had my ovary and Fallopian tube removed where the cyst was attached.

I’ve dealt with reoccurring pain and issues since then, that have all made tracking my cycle confusing. Thankfully I have found I have little impact to AF showing up on time, all until my very last cycle. I’ve definitely been irregular (maybe off by a day / max of 2), but as of last week I went a week with my cycle being late. At 32 on top of the previous issues, I am definitely nervous in what is to come with the future of my husband and I TTC.

Would love to connect with women in the same boat as me, any words of wisdom I’d love to hear. I’m continuing on with my journey, and will be wishing the best for all of the others out there too. ♥️
