Well, yes, she was probably referring to progesterone then...

They really did the hysterectomy because of the endomentriosis? I also wanted to have it done when I had my left ovary removed last year, but they didn't. They left the right one because they wanted me to keep it for the homone production, and they even left the uterus - even though I wanted desperately to get rid of it! LOL
