Hi, I am 31 years old. Lost my left ovary last February due to ovarian torsion out of the blue because of a dermoid cyst. Found the same size dermoid cyst on the right ovary and had laparoscopic (spelling?) surgery on December 6th 2011 to remove cyst along with about 50% of the right ovary.
I am now having shifts in emotions like bouts of sadness, then some anxiety. I am feeling very irritable and impatient. I have been sleeping alot and waking up sweating, then feeling very cold at night, to the point where it's difficult to warm up. I feel like my body is completely off balance.
I am also on the nuvaring birth control.
Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this after this type of surgery and/or partial oophorectomy? I don't recall feeling this way when the left one was removed...
I'm feeling scared and desperate and just need some validation that this is a part of my recovery and normal. Help, please...
Thank you all. Love this forum.
