Pre-op Newbie and nervous...

Hi, so glad that I found this site before it all happens.
I am 36 and have struggled with PMDD, Heavy Bleeding, Ovarian Cysts, and Fibroid Tumors for years. I want to say it all started with the Tubal, but that was many years ago.
I have tried natural and synthetic hrt, to no avail. Estrogen and birth control seemed to make me depresssed and gave me severe migraines.
It all seems to be getting worse with time, the cysts are continually appearing and sometimes rupturing.
Tried the HerOption in Feb, didn't not relieve any of the heavy bleeding, actually made it much worse.

I am scheduled for TAH, BSO in Sept. I don't or can't seem to find anybody around my age in here that has gone through sugical menopause at my age. Does it mater even?

Not sure where to look with sooo much info out there.
Thanks in advance!
