Thyroid swelling
About 2.5 years ago I noticed my neck looked a bit swollen and I feel like it’s got steadily more pronounced. Blood tests (FBC and U&Es and free T3, free T4 and TSH) are normal and my ultrasound was normal and the GP couldn’t feel anything when he felt my neck. I’m 31, a midwife doing shift work and

Change in cycle protocol any advise?
Good morning ladies! I hope everyone is well. So I thought I was starting my next IVF cycle on long protocol next month. Given this will be my 6th cycle I really want to give it my best shot. I do have a few embroys in the freezer but due to my age my consultant suggested I harvest more embroys whilst

Take STD test while on Contraceptive Pills
Is it ok to take the STD test while I’m on my combination contraceptive pills? how about if i’m on my withdrawal period, is it still ok?

Help/advice about periods please!
I'm messaging here because I've been dismissed by male doctors before and I'm not sure whether to make an appointment or not. I've basically always had irregular periods but they've been getting worse and worse - heavier and more painful and I can never predict when I'll get it. Cycle length varies

Combined Pill at 38
I’m 38 and just started back on Microgynon after being off the pill for 10 years and having 2 children. I started taking them 14 days ago just 2 days before my period started.

Some advice please🥺
Hi loves, this is my first post on here and I’m really looking for some advice. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2017 via laparoscopy by my local hospital gynaecology team.

Can you use Utrogestan as contraceptive?
I'm nearly 44 and was diagnosed with early menopause at 41. I was on Femodene for 2 years (from 41-43) but started to have serious side effects so switched to HRT. I am now on Oestrogel pump gel and Utrogestan pill 14 days on/off which gives me a monthly bleed. I feel like a new person on HRT but I'm

Coming off Flecainide (for PVC's) and possible Ablation for Teenager
Hi! I would really appreciate if you would please read my bio for the back story to this question as it has a history, but I will give a brief overview below. My daughter (14) is going to be weaned off Flecainide soon to see if her heart has 'fixed' itself after suddenly starting to misbehave in April

Ectopics and Digestive Difficulties
I have been dealing with diarrhea recently which I think is being causing by a Turmeric/Curcumin supplement I started taking. My ectopic heartbeats, probably mostly Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs), have started to flare up again. So I stopped taking the Turmeric/Curcumin supplement. Two years ago

Medication Side-Effects Are Scary
i have suffered from anxiety and depression for many years and have mainly treated myself through exercise, meditation and Xanax as needed. Recently after having a dental problem, I have not been able to stop obsessing about dental treatments and it has taken over my life. My doc encouraged me to try

Spotting/slight bleeding at time of laparoscopy
Hi, Does anyone know if it matters if you are spotting/lightly bleeding when you have your laparoscopy? I’m on the pill and my periods are all over the place. So worried my surgery will be cancelled again. I wasn’t told this at my pre assessment so didn’t think anything of it. I can of course ring up

Drs won’t refer me
Hi everyone thanks I advance for reading. I suffer from painful periods. As a teenager, they made me vomit. In the last 7 years the pain had become unbearable and debilitating. It is an overwhelming stabbing/burning pain before during and just after my period in my left side, which radiates across my

What sort of specialist should I see for PCOS?
I was diagnosed with PCOS in December last year. My diagnosis was through private medical insurance but I was told my insurance only covers diagnosis and not further treatment. I have acne and amenorrhea (no period for 8 months). I just want to get period back naturally without going on the pill. Should

Deciding on Surgery
Although I know the chances of conception are not improved with surgery, I don’t feel like I can be off
contraception
long enough to conceive. Also, this has got me thinking, will there ever be a right time to have the surgery?

Therefore, I am booked in to have the mirena coil inserted later this week however, again I am unsure about how I feel about this. Has anyone been in

Implantation Bleeding?
The most likely time of conception was one week ago today. Yesterday I began bleeding (dark brown discharge) but I am not supposed to start my period for another 9-10 days. I am on the pill but I haven’t missed any days. I am also having very mild cramps but those are my only symptoms. Does this sound

Periods
Sorry probably a really random question. I am away to come of my pill shortly to start the protocol for my biopsy. Usually I would start meds on the heaviest day of my period but the pill seems to make them quite light so it’s hard to tell. Does anyone get the same? Do you just start on the 2nd day?
