I am a 31 yr. Old who recently(nov.13)
had a tah, which of course put me into
early menopause.I realize my body will
never be the same, but I have a few
questions.When, if at all, does the crying
stop or at least slow down? what
about the fatigue? Does premarin have
anything to do with that? Also- I have
noticed major changes in my bowel habits
and sleep pattern. Since it has only been
4 weeks since my surgery, I am hoping all
of this will cease eventually,at least
somewhat!! Am I being totally
unrealistic? Please don't think i'm an
fool..This is all new to me!!
Thanks!!

dont think you are been an fool! You are
far from one!
Your body has been through so much you
wouldnt be normal if you wern't feeling
tearful etc. I had a tah last november, I
was 34 at the time and was suffering from
depression, and about 3 weeks after my
operation it suddenly hit me that I
couldnt have any more children! (i have 1
boy though who is 13 and wasnt able to
have anymore due to having polycistic
ovaries and other problems, so I had 12
years of trying for another and lots of
tests and then been turned down for ivf
treatment) there was always a slight hope
in the back of my mind before I had my op
that I may become pregnant though and
after my op it finalised that I would
never become a mum again. It takes so
much out of you having a hysterectomy
but..........12 months on and I am a new
person, I have everol 50 hrt patches, no
more painful periods, no more pmt, no more
acne and you mentioned sleeping patterns,
the first few weeks were a nightmare after
my op but I soon got into a sleeping
pattern and if I couldnt sleep because I
had too much on my mind I would read
(still do) until I was tired and focus on
what I was reading rather than other
things, so please hang on in there things
will get better, try and be positive.
Having a good doctor helps too? I moved
to mallorca 2 months after my operation
and I still keep in touch with my doctor
in the uk for advice.
Keep you chin up and I hope things get
better for you
