I'm wondering why you are having your FSH checked in hte first place -- if your ovaries have been removed your FSH is going ot be elevated.

Evista acts like estrogen in some respects and unlike estrogen in others. IT is possible it can affect feedback mechanisms and affect your levels.

If you are not taking estrogen, then your estradiol level will be low, like it is.
