if you have no eggs in your body (they get taken out) can you have a period or get pregnant?

you can not remove all eggs for donation. When you donate eggs only several mature eggs are removed, and you still have millions of eggs that have the ability to mature.
If you had both your ovaries or uterus removed, then it is not possible. Also it's not possible if you had just your ovaries removed.If your ovaries stayed, but the uterus was removed, you cannot have a period, but you can get pregnant- it's etopic pregnancy, and it is life threatening.

When you donate eggs, they do not take all your eggs. You were born with something like a million of them and only a few are taken with an egg donation. If you've had your ovaries removed, then you couldn't get pregnant, nor would you have your period (the hormonal feedback system that causes the lining of the uterus to build up and break down is regulated by the ovaries.)

No. Do you mean the ovaries were removed? Or was it that SOME eggs were taken for donation. If the ovaries were removed, then no unless there was one released very recently and floating around the fallopian tube - very unlikely. If it was because of donation - yes because only some eggs were removed, not all.
edited to add: Thank you for clearing that up. No, they did not take ALL your eggs, just all the eggs that were produced during that cycle. The clomid, fertinex or whatever other meds they used to stimulate them probably got an average of 20 to mature for release. You still have many, many and will have a normal cycle this month and a normal reproductive life. Now, if you donated an ovary - now that is a different story (but you would still have one).

I wouldn't think so seeing as how you have to have ovaries ( aka eggs) to get pregnant. A period is where the uterus sheds its lining & disposes of the egg in the process to prepare for next month... so I don't know about the period part. But definantly no pregnancy if there are no eggs.

You only have so many eggs from birth (they are not produced as you age - that's what causes menopause - they run out). So removing just the eggs (ovaries) stops pregnancy - obviously - and periods.

you produce between 1 & 2 ripe eggs amonth you have millions of eggs from the day you were born and i am sure they could not take them all so yes you can have a period and get pregnant

I am not sure if that would stop ayou from having a period or not but no, if they took all your eggs then you can't get pregnant. You had better make completely sure that they took all your eggs before having unprotected sex though if you do not want a pregnancy.

If you do not have any eggs, then you should not be able to get pregnant. It is my understanding that you are born with all the eggs you will have to become pregnant.

If you have no eggs, there's no way you could get pregnant, except by science. Don't know about the period, though. I'd say it's possible to still have one.

No it is not possible to get pregnant after a complete hysterectomy (removal of uterus and ovaries).
