Q: is it common in post menopausal women that a left ovary may not be able to be seen on ultrasound?

: Menopause can reduce the hormonal production of ovaries, and depending on the experience of the sonography technician or physician performing the ultrasound, it may be "missed", while still anatomically "present".
