how does 1 ovary make up for 2
I am so moody and the PMS is so severe, which I didn't have at all before. I want to know how it is possible for me to get enough hormones? I am so cranky everyday it isn't funny. and the PAIN from swollen breasts. almost like after I had my baby. I am going to my primary next Thur. and demand he check my hormones. I'm only 39 and want to feel normal again!!!!!

how does 1 ovary make up for 2
Even though it wasn't part of the plan, I lost one ovary during hyst surgery. That was 5 1/2 weeks ago so not sure how I feel yet. Did you feel like this right from the beginnning or only lately. I have read that your ovaries are in shock from the surgery and need a couple of months to balance out again. My dr. did assure me that I would be fine with only one ovary but I guess I have yet to see. Good luck to you.

I only have one ovary as well and I take enjuvia a couple of times a month when ever I feel like I'm getting pms and I also have hormone migranes so this helps keep them in check. Good Luck!

I had one of my ovaries removed 18 years ago (I was 20) due to severe endo on one ovary. I haven't ever missed that one and my hormones have been o.k. all these years. Since my surgery, the one they left (the one I have had all these years) hasn't been doing the trick and my doctor put me on low dose premarin recently. It really has helped. If you don't level out, you could talk to your doctor about adding some low dose hormone therapy.

I lived for 10 years with just one ovary (I was 23 when it was taken). I don't remember having any issues, but I was also young and my body came back from things faster.
I didn't need any extra hormones at all. I did fine with just one. But, everyone is different.
