I'm new here and feeling so, so defeated :(
Hi everyone, I hope everyone's having a decent day! I'm sorry this might be a bit long..... I have been passed from pillar to post again and again by various gyneas, doctors, nurses and I'm getting so much different information and fobbings off I don't know what to do. I'll try and summarise: Started

Testosterone therapy to... LOWER testosterone production?
I know there is plenty of talk here about BAT and TRT and SPT (i.e., supra-physiological levels of testosterone) , but there is an aspect of getting high-T shots that sometimes gets mentioned without in-depth discussion. Namely, that high doses of exogenous T can serve to suppress the endogenous (testicular

Heavy periods (sorry it's a long post)
Hi, I have always had horrible heavy and painful periods and really want them to stop, I just can't cope with it. The problem is that I never seem to be taken seriously, I always feel like I'm basically being told to grow up and deal with it because it's unpleasant for everyone. But it isn't unpleasant

really long periods, heavy bleeding even though on the pill
As the title suggests, I've been having really long periods (see: 1+ months), spotting, really heavy bleeding at times, painful cramps and stabbing pains in my vagina, and fatigue. I'm on the POP pill without break so I shouldn't be having any periods at all but since last October they've been really

Comfortable.....
In July last year I was given the coil and had numerous problems which meant I was put on the pill AS WELL. This sorted out all problems for me and I haven’t had any bleeding for months! But I am worried I’m becoming to comfortable on both of these and question if I should try and come off of the

NHS T4/T3 trial - now what have I gone and done?
So, this old T4/T3 trial business... I’ve gone and banjaxed it once again! So, a quick recap. I got prescribed T3 in Dec but handed a massive cut in T4 at the same time and spent 6 weeks feeling like the mistress of grot. I tested and got an increase in T4. I felt slightly better but my PND was playing

A really useful illustration of the very low relative risk of thrombosis with the AstraZeneca covid vaccine compared to thrombosis risks such as the combined oral contraceptive, thrombosis in the general population and the high risk from covid infection

(New here!) Does endometriosis mean daily pain?
Hi, I am 19 years old and I've been suffering with severe period pain for about 6 years. I've been sick and almost fainted countless times. Went to my GP last year and was given mefenamic acid, which did nothing even when taken with painkillers. Went back to GP and was put on the pill. Still during pill

Copper coil expulsion- what do I do now?
They struggled to get it out due to where it was sat which was another horrible experience, they had to give me emergency
contraception
and wouldn’t fit another coil for at least 3 weeks to be sure I wasn’t pregnant.

Polyp, possible endometriosis, fertility worries
Hello, I joined this forum a couple of months ago and have found it a huge comfort to read about other people’s experiences, so thank you for that. This is the first time I’ve posted but I have so much going round in my head I feel like it’s a good place to share my story as I don’t have anyone I can

Is there a limit or risk to having multiple consecutive IUDs?
My second consecutive IUD is due to expire in August and I’m so confused about what to do next. I love having an IUD and it’s definitely the perfect contraceptive option for me. However I am unable to find much online about having IUDs consecutively. Does my body need to have a break? Are there risks

Possible endo?
Then I left it thinking some periods are just more painful and heavier until more recently I have been suffering so I decided to get some
contraception
to try and stop my periods to see if that would help my pain.

Cerelle pill stopping periods - do you still get symptoms?
Hello! I'm honestly learning so much more in this community than anything my doctors or gynae has ever told me, which is a mix of emotions being both thankful but also frustrated at the doctor's 😅 I have been on the Cerelle pill since around January/February this year and haven't had a period since
