Q: Ovary Removed - Less Fertile Years???

Hi

i had an ovary removed 3 yrs ago when I was 18 due to a huge ovarian cyst. My gyno told me that the other ovary would just start producing eggs every month now rather that every 2 months to take over from the removed ovary.

What I would like to know is, does this mean that I will have less years to get pregnant due to a limited number of eggs being produced in the one ovary??
