Only reproductive endocrinologists deal with this but I don't see why
not. The only potential problems might be (1)adhesions from your
surgery blocking the way to the ovaries or (2) increased mobility of the
ovaries since the utero-ovarian ligament was cut to do the hysterectomy.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
