Is it normal if there is a sac but no baby at 6wks and ovary swelling?

Is it possible to twist an ovary?

Yes it is. That is called ovarian torsion and can become a medical emergency. Typically, cysts are what cause this. The weight of a large ovarian cyst could cause an ovary to twist. If it twists a lot, the blood supply to the ovary could become compromised, and the ovary may start to die through the process known as gangrene. Then blood poisoning could result.


What would happen if i didn't have a ovary?

First, it would depend on why you only have one ovary-- most females have two. But sometimes an ovary is removed because of a disease like cancer, although it's more common to remove both ovaries when cancer is diagnosed. But if for some reason you have one ovary, you would still have your period (although some sources say women with only one ovary go through menopause earlier). And you could still become pregnant (if you wanted to). In fact, unless you have other conditions (like cysts), having only one ovary should not be a big problem in your life.
