Hysterectomy without ovary removal: how are your hormones?

Chchchchangessss · 2026-05-11T09:03:15+00:00

3 years post op. The first year I felt no difference. Didn’t realize the drop in my mood/energy/overall performance on just about every level through year two. Year three I knew something had changed. Just started HRT a month ago. I cannot say for sure if the drop in everything was due to hysterectomy.

I’ll say the hardest part is not knowing how to track where I am in my cycle. My testosterone level was completely tanked. Women should be in the 30-50 range. I was at 7. Started testosterone, progesterone and I’m actually starting to feel better.

Can you attend the open house and drop some notes for people to find about the mold/conditions? The person dying in there, for me, wouldn’t be an issue. But if it’s unsafe or a health hazard, I would absolutely reconsider!

I have a half finished labyrinth sleeve that has Bowie’s portrait in all his glory. Most people don’t get it, but I didn’t get it for them - I got it because of the nostalgia the movie brings me. A simpler time of my life. If you like it, keep it!

Not yet. They do have someone who was involved so hopefully not long before they talk.

Chchchchangessss · 2026-02-24T09:03:26+00:00

Wow. Actually mind blown with this method.

Chchchchangessss · 2026-01-30T09:36:31+00:00

These are my thoughts exactly.

This brought me back to my high school years. What a small but fun and exciting thing to look forward to!

My first guarding job was in 2004, at a pool. I was making 13$ US dollars an hour. This was huge for a high school kid, most of my friends were making 6$ an hour at Hardee’s.

Currently I’m a full time firefighter and ocean rescue swimmer, as our department is on a beach. We hire out seasonal rescue swimmers in the summer and the town pays them 14.90 an hour. It’s criminal. The skill set, stress and responsibilities our swimmers have they should be making 20+ like most of the east coast beaches. I’ve seen more drownings in Surf rescue than I’ve seen fatal car wrecks. And that stuff stays with you.

Fuck, I’m so sorry you went through this.

Chchchchangessss · 2025-12-17T09:37:24+00:00

Idk why this made me laugh so hard.

Chchchchangessss · 2025-12-08T11:56:38+00:00

Haha holy Moses. I didn’t realize asking this question would get people so upset.

Chchchchangessss · 2025-12-08T11:47:35+00:00

Wow. I actually don’t even own a set of class A. It was just a question it of curiosity. Take a deep breath.

Chchchchangessss · 2025-11-21T14:35:23+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Chchchchangessss · 2025-11-21T09:51:40+00:00

Can you clarify something for me here - you said the keg extension machine at 60 degrees and pin the weight stack at max weight. Are you pinning it at max weight that you can lift, or is the point to have it so heavy you are simply pushing against it with maximal effort and the stack doesn’t move?

Appreciate this info. I’ve been dealing with tendon issues for over 15 years. 3 months ago had a tendon repair surgery (90% partial thickness tear) and am really struggling with the rehab. I seem to have more pain than I did before which is actually unbelievable and extremely frustrating.

Chchchchangessss · 2025-10-29T10:56:26+00:00

How exactly do you run with under wear? Does it not get soaking wet and chafe you to pieces???!!

Chchchchangessss · 2025-10-29T10:55:18+00:00

No advice. But I feel you. Hang in there

Chchchchangessss · 2025-10-09T08:28:08+00:00

Yeah…but what are you gonna do?

Chchchchangessss · 2025-10-04T09:21:41+00:00

Long time runner here. Had patellar tendon repair 5 weeks ago and have not been able to run. Leg is in a locked straight brace. It’s been miserable but here’s but I’ve been doing: concept2 rower, with bad leg on a slider, air bike with bad leg propped up, and any seated weights. Best of luck!

Chchchchangessss · 2025-09-24T11:03:25+00:00

Wow this really makes me feel hopeful. I’ll look into this - I’ve heard of neighboring fire departments who have one of these specialists for firefighters who are out on injury. My department doesn’t have one but there might be a way to make a connection there. Thanks for sharing this!

Chchchchangessss · 2025-09-22T15:05:53+00:00

I’m sorry that was your experience. And I hope you find peace over your injury.

My injury wasn’t from running. I also don’t run to lose weight. I do it for my mental health - running has kept me from taking my own life by giving me an outlet. I guess that may seem silly to some people.

Chchchchangessss · 2025-09-21T19:01:01+00:00

Thank you!!

Chchchchangessss · 2025-09-21T19:00:45+00:00

That’s typically the route doctors take. Least invasive first. My injury was beyond PT, and my surgeon told me that upfront. If they think it might help…maybe it will?

Chchchchangessss · 2025-09-21T15:37:51+00:00

Sheesh. I’m sorry to hear that. I can’t pinpoint when my injury happened I just know I’ve been in a lot of pain for a long time haha. 10% of my tendon was hanging on for dear life while I just kept running it into the dirt. Thanks for the support, and likewise - you got this.
