Conjugated oestrogens

I was prescribed cabergoline prior to this and advised to take until after transfer. At transfer yesterday my doctor said my follicles

Dear Friends, I hope this message finds you all well. It’s been a while since I’ve connected with everyone, and I wanted to update you on my current situation and gather your thoughts on the treatment options I’m considering. Brief History of My Case: As many of you know, I was diagnosed with metastatic

I am post menopausal. I use Vagifem pessaries. I have a constant strange sensation of feeling like I need to pee but nothing happens. It’s particularly bad at night and keeping me awake.

I will be going for my 3rd FET D5 blastocyst with DE in about 2 weeks. I'm just wondering what I could do differently this time around to boost my chances of having a positive pregnancy test.

Now I’m feeling good on NDT Armour, my attention is turning to balancing other hormones: cortisol, oestrogen and progesterone. Armour helps me get longer time asleep which has been huge but I still have the ‘getting to sleep’ issues. I don’t want to be on sleeping tablets (Amitryp) forever. My cortisol

I'm very puzzled as to why here in Ireland (maybe same in UK & elsewhere) GPs do not tend to prescribe HRT as a treatment for osteoporosis.At age 53 & based only on result of dexa scan my GP put me on Prolia. That was 3 years ago. In the last 6 months & on my own investigations I have spoken with 3

I started experiencing perimenopause symptoms around the time I turned 40. I noticed all the "mental things" first ( i.e. intense anxiety, extreme mood swings, easily angered, excessive crying, "brain fog" etc.) then came all the "weird things" ( i.e. ringing in ears, random itchy skin...) but the MAIN

I have anorexia and a recent DEXA showed -2.5. I am 44 years old. I know I need estrogen to help bones. Do you think I'm too old to stand a chance of generating my own estrogen? I haven't had a period in several decades but maybe if I put enough weight on there's a chance. Currently I'm not on medicine

hi ladies, I’m so fortunate to be heading towards the 12 week mark this weekend. After blood results from today I’m going to be weaning off a lot of my meds from this weekend (although they said cyclogest will remain until around week 25!) is it normal to feel SO bloody nervous to stop the progesterone

Hello, Back in November I overresponded and had to abandon long protocol ivf as my estrogen levels were 27000. I am currently doing short protocol, and started stims exactly a week ago.

I’m waiting to have a fully medicated frozen embryo transfer and I’ve had to take norethisterone to induce a period as my cycle is so irregular.
