Consulting at a private clinic while waiting for NHS
Hello Everybody, First time posting here! Just for background, my partner and I have been trying to concieve for 1 year and half - I initially had no period after stopping the pill and now my cycles are very long with short luteal phase. My partner also did a semen analysis which came back with low morphology

How long to try out a new drug
I have a lot of trouble tolerating drugs and I blame myself for not trying things longer to see if the side effects lessen. I read these things about how successful someone was after four months with terrible side effects. So the new drug I want to stop is clonodine. This is the second time I have

Baseline Scan query..
Hi all 🤗. Hope everyone is doing ok? Starting a new last attempt at OE ivf cycle next week, following a little break after lots of 'failures'. Heading back to the clinic I started at a few years back, but my treatment plan involves a baseline phone call, rather than a scan. Presume to check I've had

contraception choices
I also have never wanted kids, my partner does so I compromised and said we can have one in the future but after that I want to come off

PCOS Hair Loss
My daughter has been diagnosed with PCOS and takes Spironolactone and Yacdlla (combined pill).

Pelvic and Endo update
So, as I mentioned in the past, I have been undergoing multiple scans, different hormonal contraceptives etc to help with my heavy bleeding, pains etc. Before they used to say it might be Pelvic inflammatory dease as to why I was on them, they also keep seeing this cyst on my left side which either grows

Coming off the pill and periods
Hello everyone. I have decided to come off the pill but I'm unsure how to calculate when my first period will be. Do I count my cycle length from the day I stop taking the pill or the first day of my withdrawal bleed? I know it is unlikely to be exact as it takes the body a while to get back into a normal
