Sounds like it. Even though you kept your ovaries, they may be in shock and not up to par just yet. I'm not getting as many as I was scared I would, but then I was started on an estrogen patch before I left the castle. Hot/spicy foods can set them off. So can hot liquids, stress, smiling, breathing, sleeping, well you get the picture...

From what I understand you can expect them for several months. You can contact dr about hrt in the meantime to cover you or try an OTC remedy. Don't be surprised to have trouble sleeping thru the night and some really grumpy periods as well.....

Hi!
Early in recovery it's not unusual for someone to have menopause symptoms even if the ovaries are kept. Hopefully this will be a short term nuisance but keep a journal of them and share it with your doctor if you continue to be bothered. Sometimes doctors choose to prescribe a low dose of estrogen to help balance things out.
I hope soon you will feel much better!
