Absolutely! "Some people tend to confuse the term "surrogate." A true surrogate is a woman who not only carries the pregnancy for a couple but uses her own egg as the genetic material. In these cases the fetus is genetically linked to the surrogate."
You do NOT have to use a surrogate for an IVF cycle. If you have a functional uterus and eggs but can't get pregnant due to other factors, you can use IVF to conceive and carry your own child.

If you had a hysterectomy and your right ovary removed you just have your left ovary then can you go for the surrogacy method?
If you are asking whether you can still produce an egg, yes, as long as your remaining ovary is not disfunctional. But any viable ova would have to be removed for in vitro fertilization, which is extremely expensive, extremely painful for the surrogate, plus, in vitro fertilization and implantation has been linked to autism in children. It is wiser to adopt a child instead.
