Blood tests showing significantly worsening results on 12 weeks of dose compared to 7 weeks. Could it be Covid/HRT or I simply need more?
Most recent blood results showing worsening levels. I started an increase from 50mcg to 100mcg levo at the end of last year. My results on 31st January after 7 weeks on 100 mcg were: Tsh - 0.92 (0.27 - 4.2) Free t3 - 3 88 (3.1 - 6 8) Free t4 - 17.7 (12 - 22) Folate - 6.95 >3.89 Ferritin - 54 (13 - 150

Taking hormone pills with Hashimotos
I’ve always avoided the contraceptive pill with my thyroid issue, I didn’t feel it was the right thing to do. I recently had an appointment with an endocrinologist, due to chronic insomnia, which I suspect is due to my low cortisol and low DHEA. She hasn’t confirmed as yet her proposed treatment plan

*sensitive* 10dp5dt - BFP - advice on how to deal with the anxiety?
Hello to all the amazing ladies. So first of all I want to say that I don’t want to sound ungrateful about a BFP at all because we are excited but ooh boy the other feelings… So I caved and tested early from 8dp because I had a chemical last FET and wouldn’t want to ‘miss’ it. See image for the tests

Sticky Blood and Covid
Hi I had positive antibody tests for two out of the three causing APS and was told by a rheumatologist in Newcastle I had sticky blood. I was going to be given treatment but unfortunately I had to return to live here in South London and the rheumatologists wouldn’t support the diagnosis even though

Hysterectomy update
Hi, so I had my hysterectomy on Monday. It went well though when they opened me up they found things were worse than expected. The cyst had grown from 6cm in December to 12cm. The surgeon showed me photos afterwards, I couldn't believe how big it was. I don't understand how I could have had something

Help with latest results please
These are my latest thyroid results. I’m still struggling with hypo type symptoms but no medic will diagnose me. My latest cortisol blood test was good and I’ve managed to raise my oestradiol level by using hrt so I doubt it’s menopause that’s the culprit as all medics suggest. I’ve tried 25 and 50 levo

Slow beta hcg and low progesterone. Worried🥺
Dear ladies, I need your help, thoughts…opinion. So grateful in advance. I’m trying to understand what happens. I had FET with donor eggs. Beta is low. I’m worried because dr from Greece told me to stop Progesterone injections, and to stay with pessaries (3x1) and other therapy. I just don’t understand

What to take, when
These are the medications and vitamins that I take. I have no idea when to fit in the vitamins and whether they react with what I’m taking. T3 - I take this at 7am (12.5mcg) T4 - I take this around 10pm HRT - I have been taking this at lunch Antihistamine - I have been taking this at lunch too Thorne

Anyone concieved whilst taking hrt
Hi lovely ladies. I just wanted some help. I'm 44 and menopausal but strangely I have zero symptoms of menopause apart from absent periods. I have started taking hrt oestrogen gel and Utrogestan progesterone which to induce a monthly bleed. Is there a chance I can still concieve?
