Endo - partial oopherectomy and TTC

I was wondering if someone else was in my position, or something similar. i.e. TTC with only 3/4 of an ovary. I went in for a rather routine laproscopy to rule out endometriosis. I had 4 M/C and one vaginal birth. When they went in, they found more than they bargained for. The found a 13.5cm dermoid cyst full of hair and teeth on my right ovary. Looking left, I had a 3cm dermoid on my left. Endometriosis was everywhere. I awoke to find that I had lost my right ovary and a quarter of my left. I had horrific annovulatory buildup in my uterus resulting in a D&C. Many spot of Endo were burned, however, I was left with many spots. The miracle...the ovary I have 3/4 of, that TUBE is the ONLY spot in my abdomen spared of Endo. It was clear!!!!
My OB/GYN has hopeful thoughts on conception, or else I go on Lupron/medicinal menopause to treat the Endo.
I had my first cycle on May 6th - I had EWCM on day 14-16 of my cycle. My progesterone, I think prematurely, was tested on day 18. That "proved" anovulatory. UGH. Too early?
However, I am 8 dpo now (based on CM and a definate pos line on OPK on CD 21). I am choosing to disregard the progesterone test as I could have ovulated on cd 22 (day of test).
Anyway...long story kinda shorter...
anyone else TTC with endo, and only a partial ovary remaining? Any success stories?
