amers is on a distinguished road
Default I had an oophorectomy, what now?

I am not even 30 years old, and have had to have both ovaries removed at different times due to tumors that were growing on them. Now, I am on hormone replacement (birth control), and am wondering where to go from here. I like to stay healthy and do things as naturally as possible. If it hadn't been for this problem, I never would have taken BC pills. Does anyone know of a natural method to replace the hormones I need. I do have my uterus and so I know I need progesterone, but is there a natural way to get it?

I struggle with hot flashes all the time and have begun going 2 months in between letting myself have a period, because the back and forth of having hormones and then not having them was too much for me.

Where do I go from here? Are there any other options for me?
