Hi,

Sorry you are having to go through all that.

To answer your question, yes, it can effect your hormones.

The main blood supply to the ovaries is the uterine artery, which is cut when the uterus is removed.

The ovaries have a secondary blood supply, the ovarian artery, which for most women takes over adequately.

Some women experience a temporary hormonal disruption due to shock to the ovaries.

What kind of pain killers, is any, are you taking? I was given a prescription for oxycodene as well as for 600 mg Motrins. I never took and of the oxycodene and took only 3 of the super Motrins, but I know that the oxycodene would have really messed with my system. Could that possibly be part of the problem?
