i had an ovary removed in 2007 and currently trying to get pregnant and were having no luck. what do we do?

Question

Can we take hCG shots for infortility/ovulation? My wife had a benign tumor on her left ovary, so her left over was removed around 6 months back. Now we are trying to get pregnant with one available right ovary. Our ER suggested Clomid for the first time

Answer 1

See your doctor: Most couples with normal fertility will conceive within a year. Your gynecologist can order some simple tests to help you determine what to try next. At a minimum a semen analysis, home ovulation testing and an x-ray to see if your tubes are open would be a good start.

Answer 2

Get help : If you have been trying for a year without success (6 months if over 35), you should see a fertility specialist or your gyn.

Answer 3

Evaluation: It is usually recommended that couples (women under 35yrs) attempt pregnancy for a year before an evaluation, but there are some exceptions (irregular menses, history of pelvic infections, scarring, testicular cancer, known fertility issues). If you have tried for 6months to a year, it is reasonable to discuss this with your doctor and consider the timing of an evaluation.
