Do you still have a uterus? Why are they considering taking your other ovary? Have you sought out a 2nd or 3rd opinion? Have you asked someone if they can give you meds to hyperstim your ovary so that you can freeze your eggs for future use? Then, as long as you have a uterus, you could undergo IVF with your frozen eggs and DH's sperm and see if you get pg that way. If you don't have a uterus, you could persue using a surrogate if that's something that interests you. If you can't use your own eggs, what about undergoing IVF with donor eggs and his sperm? That way, the baby is biologically "his" and the end result is the baby you both want and desire. I know of a few women who have had, for different reasons, ovary removal and weren't opposed to using donor eggs and their DH's sperm in situations where the Partner/DH wasn't comfortable with adoption.

I guess my point is that there's different ways to look at this. Obviously, we don't know all of the ins and outs of your and DF's situation, but if you feel that he's a perfect match for you otherwise, it's probably best to look alternative methods of acheiving your joint goal- to have a baby.
