Can I still conceive?

I was diagnosed with PCOS about 8 or 9 years ago. I also told that have have anovulation, which basically means that I have a period but I don't ovulate. Also I was told by the surgeon who did my operation (he came to see me the next day and he said that he discovered that my left ovary is fine and it fallopian tube is knackered, but it's the opposite way round on my right side as the ovary is knackered (I had an 11cm ovarian cyst removed from my right ovary in February 2022), but the fallopian tube is fine (I think I've got them the right way round, but I'm not 100% sure). How best would me and my fiancé have to go about becoming parents before my biological clock tells me it's too late? I have other medical conditions too.

I’m not sure about your tubes and ovaries, but I also have PCOS and don’t ovulate either. With some guidance I was able to conceive! My dr put me on a birth control to “trick my body into ovulating” and a sex schedule once off of the BC… idk the scientific way it works, but it did. Might be worth asking your dr about.

Ty hun. I might contact my doctors about it later as they're online econsult is closed until 8am UK time

I was able to conceive naturally. I wasn't trying to get pregnant but if it happened it happened.

@Maz how does the birth control trick your body into ovulating? Did the doctor explain ?

Some hopeful news - The fallopian tubes can move over to the other side to pick up eggs if they are ovulated - a friend had an ectopic and had her right tube removed, but when she conceived naturally next time, it was the right ovary that ovulated, the left tube picked it up. I also have PCOS and often have anovulatory cycles, with my partners fertility issues our only option was IVF with ICSI. I would highly recommend looking at It Starts with the Egg by Rebecca Fett and Real Food for Fertility by Lily Nicholls.

@Daria he probably did but I don’t recall. :( I was busy crying over the fact I was being put on bc while trying to conceive.
