anything different to do after another failed fet?
hi all, this is my first post here. Sadly I received the news that my 3rd fet cycle failed today. My clinic has changed the protocol of each cycle with this one being more intense I.e. short down regulation (about 2 weeks) with buserline for mild ademiosis, lubion + pessaries for progestrone, patches

Anticoagulants and PPIs
Hi everyone, I have just had an annual medication review over the phone with a pharmacist. I am taking Apixaban 5mg twice daily together with low dose Flecainide (50mg x 2 daily) and Bisoprolol (2.5mg daily). The latter to offset any possible side effects from Flecainide!! I have been in sinus rhythm

OTD BFN with Euploid - any advice?
hi all Hope you’re all finding hope on your journeys. I’ve tested negative this morning. I had a euploid transferred on a FET. I’ve had ERA, used antibiotics, steroids, Clexane blood thinners, I also did a progesterone test on transfer which revealed 39 result (target was 50) so I doubled my progesterone

surgery changing my anticoagulant
UPDATE: spoke to prescription clerk at the surgery yesterday and she changed me back to Xarelto without batting an eyelid. She said it was an ‘outside agency’ handling it all and the surgery has no issues with patients not changing. Hi, I have had a letter from surgery re changing from rivaroxaban

Continuation of stroke risk after ablation.
I really don't know how I can explain this any more but I will try. If your CHADS2VASC2 score is zero and you are put on anticoagulation purely for the purpose of the ablation and post procedure recovery then anticoagulation may be discontinued once the three to six month recovery is completed, especially

Anticoagulation question
Hi newly diagnosed with paroxysmal AF and new to this forum. Glad to meet you all. It’s all been a bit of a shock and a whirlwind. I am now on beta blockers and Edoxaban. My question is, with a CHAD score of only 1 (by dint of being female) is it usual to be anticoagulated? Do the risks of bleeds

LINQ ECG monitor query
Hi, I am due to have a LINQ device fitted following a severe out of the blue cryptogenic stroke in March. Subsequent ECG's including a 7 day ECG have given poor results but not shown anything ie AF. I know research on use of LINQ devices has been beneficial in identifying periodic AF.ECG'S have identified

Relief for Liver?
Have ET / JAK which treatment has been interrupted due to very high (4x) liver enzyme values. I have been on 2 mg anagrelide per day for several months with cautious results lowering platelets to 800,000. That caution allowed liver and kidneys to calm down from high values after 2 months on hydroxyurea

My diagnosis has changed from Lymphoprolific none nodal mantle cell lymphoma age 56 to more of a CLL at 79 years.
I would like to know other peoples experience with CLL. My lymphocytes went up to 270 and I was started on Acalabrutinib 100mg twice daily. Have been on this for 100 days, This has brought the count down to 8.5 . I have had atrial fibrillation a year before starting on Acal, so I am on beta blocker

Feeling cold
I am on Nebivolol (beta blockers) 5mg morning and 5mg evening to slow heart rate down and also blood thinners. I have felt absolutely freezing through the cold weather. Far colder than any other member of my family and colder than any other year we have had freezing weather. I got particularly cold

stopping blood thinners for medical procedure
I’m expecting to have a steroid facet joint injection for super painful sciatica caused by bulging disc. To do this, I have to stop blood thinners a week before the procedure so that I don’t bleed into the joints. No problem stopping Ticagrelor, though I’m getting conflicting messages from different

Viagra and AF
I am a fit and active 74 year old with paroxysmal AF. My wife and I still enjoy an active sex life. However in the last couple of years I have started getting problems maintaining a strong erection sufficient for penetrative sex. Sometimes I am ok but other times not so. Is Viagra safe and not likely

UPDATE- I had the phone call today and it was as expected, they wanted to discuss changing me from Warfarin to one of the new
anticoagulants
. I explained that I have a genetic bleeding disorder and have been advised to stay on Warfarin, end of phone call.

Dad has brain cancer, heart issues, and now PSA has increased. Concerned about medication complications..
He is on several medications for afib, blood pressure, and
anticoagulants
. Presently, he is not on any medications for his lymphoma. Can anyone fill me in on what could potentially be a next step in his treatment as well as potential interactions with his current medications?
