No one seems to answer this question

I am about to undergo an oopherectomy on my last ovary.  
I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago and an oopherectomy 3 years ago and am now in the same situation so the last is about to be removed.
My question that no one seems to want to answer is how will this affect my sex drive.
I am not concerned about dryness that can be worked around but about the urge or desire.  Are all the "necessary" hormones for drive stored in the ovaries?  
My Dr. chuckles when I ask him this and says that I'll be fine but I need a more definite answer.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply.  It has been an embarassing enough question to ask but you have helped to relieve one of the many stresses associated with this procedure.
