[quote=Anonymous]I'm very sorry this happened to you.  I lost an ovary to an endometrial cyst when I was 38.  I married later that year.  I did struggle with infertility and did several rounds of iui and ivf.  They were unsuccessful, but I ended up concieving naturally.  I had ds when I was 41, dd at 44.  I also had a couple of mc's as well.

The remaining ovary will almost always simply take over the functions of the other one.  I did have a couple of episodes of night sweats a few months afterwards - I think it took some time for my hormones to adjust.  And my cycles did shorten a bit.

It might sound weird, but I would definately consider seeing an acupuncturist who specializes in infertility.  I did just as a "try everything" sort of thing, with low expectations, but my cycle really did change and improve with it.

Also know that low vitamin D levels are associated with pcos.  I have some pcos symptoms, and found they went away when I supplemented with vit D and got more sunshine.  Again, I was just trying everything at that point, had no expectations, saw my symptoms go away, then did some googling and found the studies showing the link.

I'm sure your wife is in shock at going through this.  There aren't a ton of resources for people ttc with one ovary, but I heard many stories of people finding success, and I turned out to be one of them as well in the end.

I'll try to keep an eye on this thread if you have more specific questions for me. [/quote]
