i just want to know if this is normal

I'm sorry for what you're going through. I didn't have my ovaries taken out but I'm still dealing with moodswings and hot flashes. It's not as bad as what you're describing but it has been bad. I was afraid of it being horrible...after my last baby (baby #5) I had a bit of post-partum depression and had to get on Zoloft. I don't want to do anything like that again...but so far it's not too bad. I hope that your Doc can help you soon! Good luck!

i had severe pms before my hyst, part of why they took my ovaries. i wanted them out, and because of the pms i was already on hrt to help it. after my hyst, i have been great but i woke up with the patch on me (i am 32yrs old). getting the hormones balanced will be great for you. hang in there. has he done a hormone panel for you? if the hrt doesn't work for you have him do a hormone panel to see which hormones are off. then he can fix it right. take it easy and keep us posted.
