I am new to this group & will be having a hysterectomy (uterus, ovaries & cervix). I have heard horror stories about the hormone changes after the surgery. I do not want to do a HRT regiment because of a family history of breast cancer. Are there any options available, I have never been one to take meds - I would rather do things "naturally" Thanks for any suggestions

I had a partial hysterectomy 6 years ago, but my ovaries shut down so I might as well of had a total. I use a natural progesterone cream that works wonders. My hubby won't let me go without it. It makes such a huge difference. Be careful though and stay away from any that have phytoestrogens in them. Even though you are having a total hysterectomy, you will still continue to produce some estrogen in your fat cells. You will just no longer produce progesterone. Let me know if you have any questions. I have some great recommendations on where to buy the cream if you are interested.
