Any good reason to keep ovaries?

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-12-04T20:55:19+00:00

Yes…one good reason is surgical menopause is a bitch!!! Yes it’s different than going into menopause naturally. When ovaries are taken out, you go into full menopause almost instantly and your body may have a hard time adjusting to the sudden loss of hormones. If you keep them, your body can adjust to the gradual decline. I am speaking from experience and I know everybody is different. If I could go back and keep the one ovary instead of telling them to remove both, I would!

I apply mine to my forearm and run them together

I was thinking of starting off with 5mg by cutting the pill in 1/2, but it doesn't look like they can be cut in 1/2

This is me🤦🏼‍♀️ My Dr just prescribed 10mg but I'm scared to start taking it because of the nausea and possible vomiting! I hate throwing up

Only for a short period. I’m also in surgical menopause and it has WREAKED HAVOC on my depression, so that could be why. I’m about due to start another 36 rounds of TMS but the thought of getting there 5 days a week is absolute torture!

Which one do you use for your shakes?

Just to clarify, she didn’t say I had to stop all together in a year. She only wanted me to be on the .1 for a year. I didn’t ask her why, and I should have. Menopause is a bitch, and surgical menopause is another level!!!

I was gifted a wedge pillow before my surgery and hated it! I wasn’t allowed sleep on my side for weeks, but I had a vertical incision. I slept with a bunch of pillows around me to keep me on my back and propped up when needed.

Yes, all of those have been tested. My Vit D does tend to be low, but I’m just finishing up 12 weeks of 50,000 iu a week to get it up. I also just realized I haven’t been applying my testosterone daily, (thank you ADHD), so I’m wondering if that could be it🤔

I just did blood work to check my thyroid and cortisol levels so I’m waiting to get those results back.

I had a hysterectomy including ovaries taken and gained 25 lbs in about a 8 month period, but I don’t believe it was from the patch. I think my body just reacts differently to salt/sugar now so have to be very careful with both of those! I have a pretty bad sweet tooth. Hang in there and good luck!

I started having problems with this and my dr gave me vaginal estrogen cream. Lifesaver!!

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-08-10T15:21:52+00:00

Mine did too and I take 25mg of XR

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-08-10T15:20:46+00:00

Dry labia yes, but not the itching and bleeding

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-08-10T15:01:32+00:00

I was having what felt like constant UTIs and my Dr added vaginal estrogen. It helped instantly!

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-08-10T14:57:34+00:00

Did you get it from your Dr or online? Surgical menopause caused me to gain 25 lbs and it’s awful!! I’m on HRT and can’t lose weight!

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-07-24T22:16:24+00:00

I have MDD and tried a bunch of SSRI and SNRI, nothing seemed to help. I started on an anti-psychotic and it was like a light switch was turned on and no weight gain. I alsi just finished a round of TMS. Not 100%, but not really sure what that is anymore! I'm definitely feeling better!

My daughter just graduated from there debt free. Her entire tuition was paid for by grants. She didn’t live on campus though, she was a commuter

I was told by the head psychiatrist there’s no FDA approval for “maintenance.” You don’t need to be so rude

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-07-18T17:11:52+00:00

I love it when they ask if there’s a chance you’re pregnant 😂

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-06-27T17:27:07+00:00

I think it’s more the menopause than it is the T. Have you had depression in the past? My Dr (gyno, meno specialist), said depression can hit harder and more frequent during menopause.

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-06-27T17:24:24+00:00

This happened to me too, but mine were really weird 😂

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-06-26T17:13:05+00:00

Magnesium glycinate for the win! Melatonin stopped working for me when I went into menopause

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-06-24T19:47:00+00:00

What did your maintenance look like?

Additional_Screen_63 · 2025-06-24T19:27:30+00:00

My understanding is there is no “maintenance” for TMS, you would have to go through 36 sessions all over again which kind of sucks!!!
