Ovaries generally alternate when releasing eggs. Pain is not always a reliable predictor. Ultrasounds prior to ovulation can indicate which follicles are maturing towards ovulation... but this is a costly way to be sure.
If your obgyn says there is no risk to you - you should treat every month as "the month" to maximize your chances. But plan that your chances will only be one out of two months.

Typically, a single egg is released each month by one of your ovaries. The egg released from the ovary usually enters the fallopian tube adjacent to that ovary. Although evidence suggests that an egg released from one ovary can be transported by the fallopian tube on the opposite side, this is rare. Ovulation tends to alternate ovaries, so it's likely that with only one tube, eggs from the opposite ovary never have a chance to be fertilized.
I hope that answers your question.

You will still have eggs come out of both( cycle like normal). But only the one fallopian tube you have left will catch the egg. If you are wondering of getting pregnant your odds are good since you do have both ovaries. They are both putting out eggs. You will still ovulate from both.

My doctor told me once that if you really pay attention you will feel a dull throb or an ache or heaviness on the side that is ovulating.
So I pay attention and they really do alternate.
