It's been 4 Months Since My Hysterectomy and Bladder Surgery

Hello to all of my readers (Endosisters and our supporters),

I am still recovering from the effects of exhaustion and moodiness after my surgery.  I am able to do a lot more than I could do last month but this is a SLOW process.  I am taking Hormone Replacements (HRT) and am honestly not sure if it is regulated yet, hence the moodiness.  There are patches I have to change twice a week and a daily pill I need to take.  The reason for this is because I had both ovaries removed and am only 38 years old.  If I did not take the HRT I would go into early menopause which I am told is BAD!  I hope to hear from others who had hysterectomies either from the effects of Endometriosis or other reasons.  It is a difficult process to endure regardless of the circumstances and especially if you have not been able to conceive and/or were hoping for other children.  I am one of the lucky ones but my heart goes out to the ladies who were robbed of their dreams of giving birth to a baby.  I would like to take a moment to encourage anyone who is facing a hysterectomy to check into the option of freezing her eggs if possible.  You never know what you might want in the future...peace and love to all XX
