The chance of this being mets to the ovaries would be very, very rare. However, you should mention this to your doctor. I did not see how old you are but just because you have no uterus does not mean that you stop ovulating etc so it could be that. And, chemo messes up everything. I was 45 and still menstrating and had a period that would stop. After it finally did, I went into chemopause but my menses came back about 7 months after chemo ended. I then had my ovaries removed so I could be on herceptin and arimidex (I am also ER+ but PR-). Ovarian cancer runs in my dad's family so I didn't mind getting them removed. Breast cancer runs in my mom's family.

Mets from breast cancer tend to go to the bones, liver, lungs and brain (a smaller percentage of time). It likes the bones best so ovaries would be a rare stop.

Hope this helps
