    Hi Margo,

    I went through the exact same procedure just over 4 weeks ago and ended up the same as you with just the one ovary left. I couldn't even wear knickers for the first couple of weeks as it felt so uncomfortable. At present i am just sticking to tracky bottoms and leggings but mostly just stay in pyjamas so haven't even attempted jeans yet!

    I see you posted a while back now so just wondered how you are managing after the 6-8 weeks recovery time as I am really struggling.

    It would be really good to hear from other people who have gone through the same thing please x
