Pregnancy After a Historectomy
Posted: 01-06-08 20:39pm

I had a historectomy in 2000. I am divorced after 25 years and have a new man in my life who has no children. We want to have a baby. I will do anything it takes to be able to give him a child. Does anybody know if there is a possibility of pregnancy for those of us who have had historectomy? We will do artificial insemination, anything to get me pregnant with his child. Please help

You cannot carry a child if you've had a hysterectomy.

You can, however, find a surrogate to carry the child for you. Good luck!

NOW THAT I KNOW I CANNOT CARRY A CHILD AFTER HISTORECTOMY. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY COULD TAKE MY EGG AND HIS SPERM AND IMPLANT A SERROGATE TO CARRY OUR CHILD? OR DO THEY JUST USE HIS SPERM? I AM VERY IGNORANT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS STUFF. I WANT TO GET SOME FACTS BEFORE I LOOK FOR A DR TO HELP ME

Dear DEZYRED1NY:
It depends on what kind of hyserectomy that you had,did you have a partial (where they only remove the uterus) or did you have a full hysterectomy (they remove uterus,overies,tubes,cervix) if you only had a partial then yes they can harvest some of your eggs and fertilize them with your husbands sperm and implant them into a surrogate. If you had a full hysterctomy then you would need to depend on the surrogate to provide the eggs and doing a procedure called artificial insemination (where they inject the semen into the surrogate mother's vaginal cavity). I'm not an expert but I hope this helps.Good Luck to you.
