Pregnancy is almost impossible after hysterectomy. In most documented cases, pregnancy actually occurred prior to surgery. Although rare, there are situations where pregnancy has occurred after surgery. But since there's no uterus / womb to hold the fetus, a pregnancy is not viable and is dangerous.

Oledarose1 - A uterus is needed for a fetus to grow. Without a uterus you cannot maintain a pregnancy. A surrogate using an implanted embryo from your egg and your boyfriend's sperm is the only way to have a biological child.

Is it possible without uterus, as fallopian tubes and ovaries are still intact....be fall pregnant?

It's very unlikely that these symptoms are from pregnancy. They sound like perimenopause, the transition into menopause.

Those could be symptoms of perimenopause or menopause if your ovaries were removed or are producing fewer hormones as a result of your uterus being removed. Blood work to check estrogen and FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) levels may be helpful. The leaking of milk from your breasts could be an indication of a pituitary problem. A prolactin blood level may be helpful.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.....but I'm 54 in April and this is crazy and very stressful! And the Dr's are dumb to it,I've been in two different E.R behind pain, nausea,diarrhea to constipation... I haven't seen any blood, but its traits in my urine....Aries09
I also still have my ovaries only....and the Dr said they still got at least 20 years left......I'm like 20 years for what.....to help me fertilize with sperm,then be in pain, stressing, not knowing if the fetus is dissolving or growing

A partial leaves your ovaries behind.  Yes, pregnancy is still possible, but can be fatal to the mother.

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus. In a total hysterectomy, the uterus and cervix are removed. In some cases, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed along with the uterus (called hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). In a subtotal hysterectomy, only the uterus is removed. In a radical hysterectomy, the uterus, cervix, ovaries, oviducts, lymph nodes, and lymph channels are removed. The type of hysterectomy performed depends on the reason for the procedure. In all cases, menstruation stops and a woman loses the ability to bear children. Without the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries a woman cannot get pregnant ! IF even ONE of them is removed there is no possibility of becoming pregnant

Thanks! It has been a long rough journey for sure...but I guess we all have our struggles and mine has been my health...it was very hard to have to come to terms of not having children...but I guess life goes on and you learn to fill the void in other ways...Thanks for your kindness!

I am sorry that you have suffered with endometriosis for so many years and not only did the hysterectomy not give you relief, it caused additional problems (which I understand as I also had one but not for endo). I am glad though that you have recently gotten some relief. I am sorry that you were not able to have children. That would be very difficult.

if you have had your uterus removed...You can't carry a baby...if you have your ovaries..you will continue to ovulate but the eggs are absorbed by the body. If you have everything removed you have been castrated and will go into instant menopause. If you kept your ovaries you will continue to "cycle" but will have no period (unless you kept your cervix you might have a light monthly period) Most women who keep their ovaries but have their uterus removed with begin the process of menopause 5 years sooner because of cutting blood supply. Lack of or too much of hormones can cause breast tenderness, abdominal bloating and so on...is it possible for sperm to potentially reach and fertilize and egg...slim to none, but it can happen...can the baby be carried to full term without a uterus...absolutely NOT. The uterine implants are many many years down the road.

To the gals coming in reading this LONG thread who have endometriosis ... do NOT let a Dr. talk you into a hysterectomy...because it will NOT cure endometriosis and will cause other issues. I was never able to conceive because of endometriosis and lack of getting into the hands of a qualified dr. and my endo even after having everything removed including the ovaries my endo continued to grow..and finally 20+ years and two endometriosis specialists I am too a pretty good place, but had I gotten into the hands of a true endometriosis specialist (there are just over 100 that are truly endometriosis specialists and they will do excision (cut out the disease) not put you on drugs to suppress or remove your female organs...If I had gotten into the hands of a trues specialist I would have most likely been able to have a baby...so if you have endo and have not yet gotten into the wrong hands please seek out a qualified endometriosis specialist as this is your best chance of eradicating the disease, having a baby because they will preserve your anatomy which will also prevent many other health issues that come with having a hysterectomy...I am sorry to those who want a baby and can't have one now...I get it because I did not even get one...but you will not be able to carry a baby in your body to full term without a uterus...so you can adopt or if you have your ovaries perhaps harvest your eggs and fertilize with SO's sperm and then place into a woman with a healthy uterus...

U can not say that u can't carry. U can: google it. Not every single way is 100% safe for both mom and baby. BUT there are cases where if u have ur cervix after a partial u can have a baby and carry close to full term eachboerson is different.!u can also carry a baby in ur liver l,, they move ur liver down a bit so it doesn't break ur ribs as ur expands. Liver stays the size of a football and the baby grows making the liver expand. It can attach to ur abdominal wallsZ if it is getting nutrients and has room to growth and for grown u can have a baby after a partial. But everyone is different!!!! Some can and some can't becausenof how healthy everything is inside....

I'm 43 y.o. & had a partial hysterectomy in Aug 2006, having my uterus & cervix removed. So since there is a slim chance of actually conceiving, which could be very bad for both mom & baby, is it a good idea to use birth control? Since the chances are so slim I always thought having the hysterectomy was birth control enough. I had mine due to endometriosis.  My fiance' is very fertile due to having fathered 4 kids. But for me, my oldest is 25 & was a pill baby. My daughter is 13 & I took fertility meds to get pregnant w/her.

I am sorry you had a hysterectomy. You cannot carry a baby without your uterus. This should have been made clear to you by your doctor/surgeon before he/she removed your uterus.
