Until we hear from one of the experts, I wanted to send you a few resources, so you can begin researching to find out "everything you should know"! I'll help, too, but wanted to send you these great, credible, health websites ASAP...
It sound like you have two questions:
1. How likely is it that you are able to conceive a child with one ovary (as your right ovary was removed)?
2. How likely is it that you can conceive a child with a polycystic ovary (I assume this means you have been diagnosed with PCOS or PCOD by your doctor?) PCOS is polycystic ovarian syndrome and PCOD is polycystic ovarian disease. I believe (from my understanding, I am not a doctor) that these two terms are used interchangeably??
