35 no ovaries but have uterus..anyone else?

Hello ladies, I am new to this forum and I am coming here for help. In August 2006, while 13 weeks pregnant I lost both of my ovaries do to cyst rapping around them. First happened at 13 weeks, second at 16 weeks. (baby survived-thank God) Dr. said that once I stop breastfeeding, one small pill will fix it all. Right! In December 2007, I stop breastfeeding my daughter and try to get into my OBG office, but they could not see me until March. So I waited patiently. Unfortunately, in February 2008 my body went into hormonal roller couster and OBG saw me right away. Put me on Angeliq hormone, but by this time I was already so depressed and emotional that Angeliq was doing nothing for me. (since I had no menopausal symptoms, I assumed it was suppose to take care of all the emotional symptoms) In July 2008 they did not know what else to do since my depression was not getting any better, so they sent me to psychiatrist who put me on the smallest dose of Lexapro. That helped and finally a month ago, I got off of it.  Anyway, my OBG office is more interested in prego females which are bringing the big $$$ then the depressed pathetic me, so I have recently switched OBG and found a couple husband and wife who are only seeing females like me...with such problems. I like them a lot, but by now I am so confused that I do not know what is right. So, before I ask my questions, here are few more details.

I am 35 years old, have no ovaries, just uterus...I have no hot flashes, sweating, no symptoms if I do not take any estrogen. I am taking vitamins my new OBG selected for me. I work out 4-5 times a week cardio. I take no hormones, as my new OBG said there is no need since I have no symptoms. Emotionally, I am 80% better, but not complete. I did noticed, my sex drive is pretty low.

Is there any of you who are in similar situation and take no hormones? Should I be taking some estrogen and perhaps little progesterone since I still have my uterus therefore, could get cancer? Is there something else I should be doing to take a better care of myself?
I appreciate any/all comments.
Thank you,
Petanka

I have high blood pressure, IBS, Mood Swings, Endermetreosis and very painful Periods that are heavy. Previously I have had thrombosis during Pregnancy and My Gyne and local Doctor feel I should have everything removed but I cannot take HRT because of past history. Can any one give me some advise, am I going to get more problems than I have already by taking all hormones away. Oh and they have proved that I am allergic to my Estergen as I had injections to stop it for 4 months and felt wonderful without it better than I had for a good 20years.
