I fixed the link. It should work for you now.

My diagnosis came right before my 43rd birthday. The doc said that I hadn't started menopause yet. The only reason I knew what a hot flash felt like was that one of the drugs they give you during infertility treatment can cause them. I'm heavier so it took awhile for the excess estrogen in my body to be affected by the surgery. I understand some people feel symptoms as early as day or two after surgery. Since your bloodwork showed you were thru it, maybe the hormone swings won't be as drastic.

Dare I say it, but with me, it's the libido that took the biggest hit - that and my joints. Hubby knows it's something we have to work thru, but I can't wait until I can use a tidge of something to bring that back. ;)
