You’re welcome and thank you for the response! Yes, my ovaries did survive, as far as I know — so I went through a (fairly mild) menopause around age 50. I think. :-) It’s hard to tell without a period, but I had the occasional hot flash, and I developed a “menopot” belly. Currently working on that. Good luck with your own journey, I wish you well! Life without fibroids is GREAT.
