Hi Kathy
Of course, everyone is individual so there's not a blanket answer, but -if they left your ovaries- your menopause will be about the same as a natural one except you may go through it a little faster (that can also possibility make the symptoms more intense).
If they removed the ovaries as well, that is usually a more difficult menopause because you have no gradual transition.
I hope yours has been a reasonably smooth transition,
Sandy
