You can still have a baby even if you've undergone a partial hysterectomy.
A partial hysterectomy is a medical procedure during which a physician removes a woman's upper uterus while she is under anesthetic. On occasion, a woman might need to have her cervix, the lower part of her uterus, removed in addition to her upper uterus. A woman who has undergone a partial hysterectomy can still use several methods to ultimately have the family she wants. She can do so even though she cannot physically carry a baby to term herself.
Instructions
1. Undergo an in vitro fertilization procedure. During this process you are prescribed medications to vastly increase the number of eggs you produce during a single menstrual cycle. After the eggs have grown to a sufficient size, they are removed from your body under anesthesia and fertilized with your partner's sperm. After several days, the eggs are monitored to determine which ones are in best condition to make a baby. The embryos chosen by the embryologist are placed in the uterus of a gestational carrier who can carry the baby to term for you.
2. Pursue adoption. Adopting a baby is possible for a woman with a partial hysterectomy provided she meets other criteria, such as age. You might need to pass a home study and pay adoption fees.
3. Hire a surrogate mother, which is a legal option in many states. Pick a woman to carry a baby for you. The surrogate agrees to be inseminated with your partner's sperm and her own eggs. After she gives birth, she agrees to turn over the baby to you and your partner to adopt. Surrogacy is an option for a woman who has undergone removal of her ovaries or finds that her ovaries aren't working properly. Surrogacy can also be an option for a woman who is taking medications that might compromise her egg quality.
