Could I ever be able to have a child?

Hi
September 02 2010 woild make it 2 years since I had a partial hysterectomy. (My womb was removed). I am 40 years old and without a child. Is there hope out there for me?

In case you're comtemplating on having a hysterectomy, please do it as a last option and after you have had numerous opinions. I went in to had a fibriods removed but my uterus was taken to safe my life or so I was told. I would never had willingly had the surgery done.

If you ask me, I don't feel normal. I have the emotional swings. Most important of all, I do not feel sensual and because of this I feel less then a woman.  I think I rather had die with my womb intact then have a hyterectomy. Enough of my rants and back to my question: Is there hope of me having a child?

I take it you still have your ovaries? If you do, then yes, you may be able to have a child. You will not be able to carry a baby but you might be able to have a surrogate carry one using your eggs. I don't want to get your hopes up. This is a question only your Dr can answer for sure. You also need to talk to your Dr about the mood swings. It could be because of hormones or because of depression.  Remar
