I had mine out in April I'm 35, onc said no way I would come out of menapause but I 'felt' hormonal so got the nurse to take extra bloods - she called the next day said they were all opposite to 2 months prior!
I did have the zoladex shot for a few months while waiting to see how I coped with menapausal symptoms - but considering they weren't going to let me be hormonal it really was a bit of a moot pont!
I would do anyting to improve my chances and haven't regretted my de cision one bit I don't want more kids just want ot see the ones I have grow up!
I make sure I take calcium and Vit D every day to try to help with my bone health since I am so young but othere than that nothing else is different and I am sure I still get PMT!!

good luck with your desicion
