can you still have periods without ovaries?

[janib]

Hi i suffer from severe endometriosis resulting in one ovary being removed in '91 then the other in '93 (i was 28) no hysterectomy as womb stuck to bowel went straight on HRT until i was approx 44 now experiencing blood loss spotting etc my question is can you still have periods without having ovaries??

[Tendo]

I got both my ovaries removed in 2000, 10 days after my 40th birthday, and was immediately put on HRT. I still got the occasional twinge of endo, but 18 months ago I was in agony and had a bleed. The following month I had a bleed and was in agony again, so I went to my GP, who told me to come off the HRT, which I did.

Up until a few months ago I was getting spotting and pain, but the spotting seems to have stopped for now, although the pain hasn't.
