I had a complete hysterectomy 4 years ago. Am I eligible for an artificial uterus implant? Is there any way for me to get pregnant?

Sorry, the second sentence was supposed to say "There isn't any such thing as an artificial uterus."

There is no such thing as an artificial uterus implant.  There any such thing as an artificial uterus.  By complete hysterectomy, I take it you also mean your ovaries are gone.  Losing the ovaries and the uterus pretty much takes away IVF with someone else's eggs (because you have no uterus) and IVF from you to surrogate (because you have no ovaries).  Your only possibility at this point would be for you to use a donor's eggs and your husband's sperm, and then have them carried by a surrogate (a gestational carrier).  But there is no way left for you, yourself to be pregnant.  I'm sorry.
