Can You Get Pregnant with One Ovary?

Marcie Jones Leave a Comment

Can women get pregnant with only one ovary?”

Yes. When a woman has two ovaries, they usually take turns releasing the egg every month. If there’s just one ovary, it will take over producing estrogen and releasing an egg every month, as long as the remaining ovary and fallopian tube are healthy. If your cycles are regular, your chances of becoming pregnant are just as good as a woman who has two ovaries.
