When should I send for a test?
Hi everyone. I've been on a bit of a health journey over the last few years, but have now stabilised my B12, Vit D and Ferritin AND started HRT! Yay! I'd actually started to lose weight on the HRT at first. My hair was growing back thicker, etc. But then a couple of months ago: 🔵 My hair started to

HRT after heart attack
I came off HRT at the signs of my heart attack (as the leaflet said to stop with chest pains) and was since told by cardiology team that HRT wasn't the cause, I was just one of the unlucky ones at 49 years old. It has been 8 months since my mild heart attack with one stent fitted and I'm doing OK. I

Patients with higher TSH levels have worse outcomes in hospitalisation
This paper compares patients with low, normal and higher TSH as to outcomes. It shows higher TSH but not low TSH has adverse implications.

Will increasing my HRT dose cure my itch legs as it did for Caroline Noakes MP.
I heard the MP Caroline Noakes on Radio 2 last week discussing how she had cured her problem with itching legs that were so bad that she drew blood when scratching them. The cure involved increasing her dose of HRT until the itching stopped. I use HRT and suffer from the same itchy legs problem for

Anyone have experience with hrt and PBC? Currently on patch but menopause symptoms have returned. Thinking of oestrogen gel and progesterone tab. Gp not keen on the oral component. Liver levels improved since starting on Urso. Thanks for any input!

Mercury Pharma update
Just to let you know my local pharmacy, who keep MP stock in supply for me, have run out! They had a box for me but said they have tried ordering more several times but to no avail. 🤷♀️ I’ll need to look at Hellevas list for a new supplier ( not TEVA) 🤦♀️. However, the good news is HRT gel is back

Test results, need advice please
Hi All, I just joined this group. I'm more often on the thyroid group but I just did a blood test to check out my sex hormones as per the advice in Paul Robinson's book 'The Thyroid Patient' manual'. I am post menopausal, age 70 plus. I don't take any HRT currently, just thyroid hormones. Anyway

Low HCG 31
Hi everyone, I've had a very low hcg of 31 9 days post day 5 blastocyst transfer. Very mildly positive urine pregnancy test. My clinic wants me to continue the meds for 7 days. Feels like it will be a poor outcome with such a low reading. Has anyone got any experience of a low reading like this? Thanks

Confused with Beta results 🤯
Morning all, I had a Beta HCG done yesterday and it was 114535 and said 5-6 weeks. Yet on line it read 7weeks. So confusing. I’m assuming you go by implantation day. Stupid question I know 🥰

Vitamin dosage guidance
I’ve bombed recently & reassessing EVERYTHING from thyroid meds to HRT and now vitamins. I think I’ve been getting things wrong…..Does anyone know the optimal dosage we should take daily for the following: Vitamin C - I currently take 3 x 750mg (2,250mg in total) Zinc - I currently take 30mg daily Magnesium

Suboptimal Thyroid Hormone Replacement is Associated with Worse Hospital Outcomes
Not saying this paper doesn't have its place. Of course it does, otherwise there is too much guesswork and assumption. But, I ask you, is anyone actually surprised by this? The cost of treating (in terms of length of stay and/or readmission) must be vastly more than providing adequate levothyroxine.

On HRT and feeling worse than ever
I am on the Mirena coil and Evorel 50 patches since Feb. I feel worse than ever. I am not sleeping, I am putting on weight, I am exhausted, sad all the time, stressed, irritable, my skin in a mess - patchy and spotty, I have huge eye bags. I have terrible IBS. I hate myself and want to disappear. What

Blood test result is negative. Help needed with next steps.
Today was my OTD and it came negative. Wondering what are the questions I should ask my doctor in my follow up meeting with him? Some more details: I am 45 yo .Used donor eggs for this cycle. HCG number from the blood test is <1. What does that mean exactly . Will there be any risk in future cycle

Marina coil at 56
I'm 56 and have just enquired about having my marina coil replaced. This would be my 3rd cycle. Initially for heavy painful periods. Now along side a hrt gel. Dreading a no answer, those heavy periods stopped me doing anything. Also I don't want yo take hrt gel for ever. Just one more cycle please
