Ovaries do two things. Ovaries are the main reproductive organ, meaning that if a woman did not have fallopian tubes or the uterus, she could get pregnant by the eggs that the ovaries produce. The ovaries also produce hormones. The hormones the ovaries produce create the cycles that a woman goes through. Ovaries produce the eggs that can become fertile and produce a baby.
