Q: No Uterus, Can I Have a Baby?

Crazy question, I think I know the answer, but...
I had a hysterectomy 5 years ago. Uterus and one ovary taken. One working ovary remaining. I am 44 yrs old. I thought I was done with childrearing. Well, my circumstances have changed and now I want another child...What, if anything, are my options, other than having someone else host/grow my baby?
Thank you.

I'm glad to hear you are in the place where you wish to have another life for your family. However without a uterus you cannot carry a child. Despite the contrary opinion by one single person on this forum, you cannot get pregnant withou a uterus either.

Good luck to you whatever you decide to do!

To emm- If you do not have a uterus, you cannot carry a baby to term. A partial hysterectomy is where they remove the uterus and one ovary or the uterus and the cervix. A radical or full hysterectomy involves removing the uterus, both ovaries and the cervix. While there are very few extremely rare and dangerous cases of extrauterine pregnancies reported, I highly suggest you don't even attempt this. And it is highly unlikely to happen anyway. If you have an extrauterine pregnancy, the placenta will attach itself to any organ it can. This can kill you. The placenta can detach from whatever organ it is getting its blood supply to nourish the fetus and cause massive internal bleeding. There are other options for you, such as surrogacy and adoption. Best of luck to you.
To teressa- If you truly had a partial hysterectomy and are pregnant, where did the fetus attach itself? A partial hysterectomy involves removing the uterus and sometimes one ovary or the cervix. But always the uterus. If you have had just an ovary or your cervix removed, then you did not have a hysterectomy. If you indeed had your uterus removed, you will need to go to your doctor ASAP to find out where the placenta is attached, as said before, this can be life-threatening for you.
