I'm 25 and had my left ovary and tube removed last February because of a massive tumor had made it septic, I also had a roommate who had her ovary removed at age 13 for the same reason as you and she has a 5 year old son. :) Having one less ovary will have little to no effect on your ability to have children so you and your mother don't need to worry. Listen to your body. These doubts and worries are normal but more than anything you need to recover. It's been months and I'm still experiencing issues (hormonal) and the hormonal imbalances commonly cause anxiety and depression after removal, so try to stay positive. If it's too much, talk to your doc about ways you can even out your hormones. It takes some people 3 to 6 months to even a year to completely recover from ovarian removal even if it is just the one, which, unfortunately my doctor said absolutely nothing about the symptoms I'd be having after or why so I had to do lots of research the past few months. These hormonal imbalances will continue until your other ovary figures out how to pick up the slack of the other ovary (one ovary doing the work for two). This can create stress on your body but it's temporary. I hope this helps? I hope you're feeling better and that you heal quickly. :)
