Hi All,

I went to see my consultant yesterday who told me i will be having a TLC + BSO on the 11th of June glad i will be getting things sorted but nervous all the same. She told me from the internal scan i have Andeyomosis which now i know explains a few things.

Its now just the waiting game but im away in spain for a long weekend end of May just glad i get to go as was worried i may have to cancel.

Then my due date will be upon me.

Hope everyone is doing well.

    Hi. Glad you got some answers I'm having exact same op but for endometriosis next week. I'm really nervous but more about losing ovaries at 40 and the difference to me afterwards than actual op. Great news about getting to go on holiday and something to look forward to. Have fun smile

      Thank you for replying. I'm really nervous about hrt and Dont know if searching everything Google throws at me is a good idea but I'm hoping patches are good for me. Did you have severe menopause symptoms. My consultant is adamant that I need to lose them both because of cysts and increased risk of ovarian cancer with endo. Were you the same? X

      Yes went straight in to it. Hot flushes mood swings the lot but we are all different so you no if you will. I was not allowed to take hrt untill 6 weeks after because of the endometriosis was so bad he said he could of misst a bit and it needed to die. I had my womb ans cevix out aswell. I did take happy pills after about 4 weeks because I needed I quick fix and now still on them just one 2mg now untill I feel the hrt patches are working with my moods I will stop the happy pills. The patches work faster because they go into your blood stream. The good thing is I didn't bleed after my op ans not since xx

      Hi I feel exactly the same as you its not so much the op its the recovery and not been able to do much as im quiet an active person.

      I told my boss yesterday and she was really good I said 6 weeks but reading a lot of the posts on here I think im been optimistic .

      regarding hrt I was told I cant take it due to my sister s borh having breast cancer. She said the menopause will hit straight away so I m trying to prepare myself for that. My friend is going through it now and the hot flushes are what she struggles with most. When is your op froggy just wondering how long between post op and op .

      Jackie my mum dies at 55. She had beast cancer although that is now why she died. I have HRT and can stay on it until I am 55. I am now not having any menopausal symptoms. I take oestrogel which is oestrogen only so is safer.
