Pam,
If you do choose to have your ovaries removed I highly recommend
you look into Natural Progetserone Cream from The Women's
International Pharmacy. I am 26 and have had both ovaries removed. I
am on Premarin 1.25 mg and the natural Progesterone. I feel great,
but didn't until I started using the cream. I was very concerned
about the menopausal effects and am probably one of the few women who
feel great now!! Good luck...
