Butterfly, the ultrasound results didn't take long, but the gynecologist said the biopsy results would take 4-6 weeks for results. She advised me to book a second appt. for 6 weeks. I'm assuming they will get in touch as soon as possible, if they see anything ominous.

Hoping to be reassuring here, Pinky. I has a full hysterectomy (both ovaries) at 44 and recovery time was much quicker than predicted. I had one ovarian cyst that the doctor couldn't tell was benign or not until surgery. I opted for the full hysterectomy rather than just one ovary. At 44 I figured it would save me a possible second surgery later on. One thing I wish I could have had tested before surgery was my hormone levels. No one suggested it and I had no idea how helpful it would have been. After surgery I was on a hormone patch, but I never felt it was the right "dosage" for me.
jnos, thank you for your input. How long did you have to use the hormone patch?
One thing I haven't talked to my doctor or gynecologist about, is, though I'm post-menopausal, will I go through the same menopausal symptoms after the hysterectomy? Can't seem to find anything online.
