I would like to have hope after reading some of these posts but find it hard to as I too have had both my tubes removed, one and tube in 1995 from a twisted ovarian cyst and the other when I was 21 weeks pregnant in 2007. I was to go straight into menopause (because of removal of remaining ovary as well) upon delivery of my daughter and didn't. Three months post partum, I started getting my period again. Went to my doctor for my six month check up, scratching her head she said without my ovaries I should not be getting periods. Sent me for vag. ultrasound, blood work and an MRI, no one found any ovaries or tubes. So my husband and I started seeing a doctor for IVF so we could have another baby (since I still have my uterus I can still carry a baby)... well I was talked into checking for an ovary just one last time because of the continuance of a regular monthly period...a minute or so into the vag. ultrasound much to my surprise the tech says, oh you most def. have a piece of an ovary...which explained the periods and non menopausal blood work results. I have 2/3 of my left ovary left from the surgery that I had when I was pregnant. I have to believe my little blessing saved my ovary. So we have since started the IVF process trying to use my own eggs, long story short, since I have no tubes, I won't be conceiving naturally, and since my ovary was damaged in the surgery I cannot make enough follies to have a baby of my own so we have to move onto donor eggs. I pray and pray for a miracle that I would be able to conceive another baby naturally but since I don't even have a piece of a tube (which my doctor told me that it could happen with just a piece of a tube) that won't happen. So we will continue to try an IVF cycle with a donor and pray for success that way. Good luck to you all but I am choosing not to give myself any false hopes as this road to failed conception after conception is emotionally draining.
