Is it possible to be ovlating with only one ovary after a partial hysterectomy over a year ago?

Yep, as long as you have an ovary and have not entered the menopause.

The Dr did say after I had a premenopuse panel done that apparently my ovary had kicked in which surprised him. i was just very concerned that after all this time I am experiencing the cramps and ovary discomfort.

You can ask your doctor to do a transvaginal ultrasound to look at your ovary for a little peace of mind. It will show whether the ovary's enlarged, cysts, etc, but not a lot of small detail. I think if it gives you peace of mind, it's worth having it done. Especially because it's non-invasive. If you've not had one done before, your're placed in the same position as for a Pap/exam. An ultrasound wand is covered w/a condom, lubricated and inserted into the vagina. Sometimes it's pushed against the upper walls of the vagina to get a clearer picture, which is not painful but you may feel a little pressure. The wand is larger than a tampon in diameter. Again, it is not a painful procedure, as nothing is penetrating through the vaginal wall, just ultrasound waves are being emitted. You usually can view the screen while it's being done. Check to see if your health insurance will cover it because you do have a complaint of pain and discomfort in that area and this could be used to rule out ovarian enlargement, large cysts, etc.
