“Can you get pregnant after a partial hysterectomy?”
I'm 32 years old, and my doctor told me that it might be necessary to have a partial hysterectomy for a uterine tumor that I have. I still want children though. Is it possible for women to get pregnant after a partial hysterectomy?

If you desire children, do NOT let someone take out your uterus unless there is something like cancer! You should seek a second opinion. I don't know the particulars, but if you have a big fibroid, maybe that doctor doesn't know how to remove something like that.
SECOND OPINION and take your sonogram reporrt.

Very unlikely, no.
No, not a normal pregnancy.
If your uterus was taken out, you will not be able to carry a child. You would have to find a surrogate uterus to have a child.
The quick answer is NO!

With a partial hysterectomy, your uterus will be removed which means that you will no longer be able to CARRY a pregnancy. However, with your ovaries still intact your eggs can be retrieved and fertilized outside of your body and then implanted into a surrogates uterus. So, the genetic material will be the same as if you had birthed the baby physically, but you would not carry and deliver the baby. An infertility specialist will be able to provide the clinical services. You would have to find the surrogate yourselves. Most infertility specialist will have resources to help you find one if you do not know anyone who would be able and/or willing to do this for you. All services cost.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Unfortunately, no pregnancies after total or partial hysterectomies.
