One tube open 2 ovaries

[crossmyfingers3]

Do doctors ever remove the faulty tube and ovary to encourage your body to ovulate from the good ovary and tube? I feel like I must O from the right side all of the time!!

I am on Clomid. Is this the medication I need to stimulate my ovaries?

beside you will want both ovaries if you have to head down the IVF road.

No the doctor wouldn't remove faulty tube.   The tube doesn't have anything to do with the ovary producing eggs.   You'd have to remove the ovary on the blocked tube side and this way the ovary on the good tube side will do the monthly ovulating.  But that's not likely that your doc wouldn't do that because it'snot considered medically necessary.  It is challenging having one good tube and two good ovaries.  Unfotunately ovaries to do not alternate sides each month.   So you have to just hang in there and know that it will probably take some time to for the ovary on the good side to do what it needs to do for you.

I asked my RE this same question, and he said that it would not be reccomended because if you ovulate on one side more than the other, there is probably a reason and if you take out the side that you normally ovulate on you may be left with an overy that may not produce as good of an egg- and then where would you be?  It makes sense to take out one to make the other work harder, but I guess, unfortunatly, it doesn't work that way.  Good luck!

I had my tube and overy removed on the right side. And i still Ovulate evrymonth accordingly, mine was reversed though, My overy was necrotic (dead) but my tube was fine, I'm not sure why they took both? It has all been fine though my ovarian reserve with just one overy is the same as the average women with 2.

I pretty sure they will remove damaged or blocked tubes but I'm not sure that you would want to have an ovary removed unless you absolutely had to.  Ovaries are your bodies primary source of estrogen.  

I have two ovaries and one tube.  I ovulated on the wrong side for 4 or 5 cycles in a row.  Can't remember for sure..  Anyway, because I kept ovulating on the wrong side, I am now using a ovulating stimulating drug (follistim) to stimulate additional follicle development.  This is my second cycle and both cycles, I developed a follie on my good side.  

I would recommend trying medication before having an ovary removed.  Best luck to you.
