Can you still ovulate even though you don't have a uterus and a cervix. and what is ovulating?

Yes: You will continue to ovulate as long as you have ovaries and are not in menopause. Ovulation is when the ovary releases the egg.

Yes: If your ovaries were left in place, you will ovulate as usual. Ovulation is the process whereby a mature ovarian follicle releases its egg(ovum). Without a uterus, the ovum will get resorbed within the pelvis.

Ovulation?: Ovulation is the process by which the ovary releases an egg from a follicle. The organ necessary for ovulation, as well as the production of several hormones, is the ovary. The cervix and uterus are not required for either the hormone production that is carried out by the ovary or ovulation.
