I wanted to post my situation not for advice but to hopefully make anyone else who might be going through the same feel not so alone.
I am 3 months post op from a total hysterectomy including both ovaries. I turned 40 a month after my surgery.
I had suffered with pmdd for years. I had adenomyosis, pcos, endometriosis, a fibroid, an endometrioma and cyst on left ovary, right ovary full of cyst and endometriosis. Both ovaries adhered to uterus and wall. Prior to surgery I knew we would be leaving everything but the right ovary bc the left had the endometrioma.
I chose to go ahead and remove both ovaries and now I’m going through regret of the surgery and trying to learn to accept it.
I’m unable to tolerate patches bc of histamine intolerance. I have yet to try another delivery method. So far…other than hot flashes and fatigue I don’t feel too much different. I keep reading so much about how I’m going to be miserable without HRT and that I’m going to end up with all these complications and conditions without it and I’m terrified.
What if I’m never able to tolerate HRT? I which I could go back and have at least left one ovary. Or waited longer to have the surgery.
If you’ve read this far and can relate…my empathy and prayers are with you I promise ❤️
