Hi again, I am now 12 months post any treatment so may be different for you. I found that my hot flushes slacked off at the end of treatment and I was able to return to "normal" sleeping patterns except I am always hotter than I was before all the treatment. I had to have an abdomonal hysta so my recovery was long. As with a ceserian birth you cant do much at all for 4 - 6 weeks, and they are right. It took me 4 and a half weeks to not have pain every time I stood up.
I am now 12 weeks since surgery and have no pain, no hot flushes and looking forward wthout the dread of my overies. I do have hormone replacement therapy, a very light dose as I have a dry vagina, but all in all I would rather risk the HRT than have no sex ever again, which is what one doctor suggested! At 48 Im not ready to give that up altogether! No way!
Heres to a good many years without the dread of what if???
