Simple answer is no.  There is 72 reported cases of pregnancy after a hysterectomy.  This is so rare.  Only happens if you have a hole on your cervical stump, or tubes surgery closed with the stump that allows cervical canal to connect abdominal.

Annie said it all.

If you wish to have a baby and still have your ovaries if your eggs are healthy you may beable to hire a surrogate and have a biological child, other then that adoption is a wonderful choice.

A 'partial hysterectomy' usually refers to removing the uterus and not the ovaries.  Is that what you had?

It takes a uterus to carry a baby.  [If you still have your ovaries, your eggs and your husband's sperm could be used to create an embryo by in-vitro fertilization, which could be carried by a gestational carrier ("surrogate mother") to term for you.]  Once in a million, someone will have an ectopic pregnancy that settles outside the uterus, but this is so rare that it is a statistical anomaly.
