If you have a family history it may be worth your wild to check with your primary doctor or a cardiologist if you already have a heart condition. Mine says the fluxes in hormones make it almost impossible to control with meds after a hysterectomy. None of us are getting any younger and it may help your future health.

Great point!!
I was told that since I am losing both ovaries that its in my best interest to take HRT because of the risk of heart disease. I have MVP (Mitro Valve Prolapse) not sever like your heart troubles but still don't want to take any chances. After I lost my right ovary (July 2004) they didn't suggest HRT and I have done great with the ovary I have. Except for the annoying huge cysts.
I wish you luck and hope someone has some answers for you. All I can say is that I have done well with my one ovary.....and I hope you do too.
