The remaining ovary if in good order,will take care of the hormone needs. No need for hormone replacement therapy.

Generally only one ovum per month. It is possible for each ovary to produce one or more at the same time, this is how fraternal twins are possible.
What triggers menstruation to occur?
Menstruation occurs usually every 28days. A woman releases an egg from one of her ovarys and it travels through the fallopian tubes and waits to be fertilised by the male sperm. If this doesnt occur the uterus sheds its lining, and that's how a woman/girl gets her "monthly period" (menstruation)i hope this was helpful.

Is an egg from one ovary able to move to the other ovary?
Eggs only move from the ovaries to the uterus. They never move from one ovary to the other ovary.
