What is the process for FET?
Hi ladies I’m now planning my first ever FET and just wondered what the process of this is? I think I’m looking for a kind of time line as my consultant mentioned me going on the pill before this starts (I’m presuming the month before). I want to have the FET in May so does that mean treatment starts

I unfortunately couldn’t get my next set of pills until this evening which meant u was unable to take my pill until 6:

Superficial Endometriosis- conflicting advice!
Happy New Year Everyone! Advice needed if anyone also has superficial endometriosis? I have had conflicting advice. End of September I had a clear MRI with a private specialist surgeon, he said it was likely Superficial Endometriosis and he would give me a diagnostic laparoscopy and remove anything

Can you relate?
I’ve just signed up and written my bio, and wondered if there were ppl here that can relate? I’ll copy and paste it below :) From when I started my period the pain levels were beyond anything anybody I met or spoke with had experienced. Every month I have to take each day I’m on my period: 3,200mg

Cutting T3 questions.
So I have 2 pill cutters. One by my bed for first thing and last thing dose and another in my handbag for mid PM dose. So far I only cut one pill at a time and store the pieces in the pill cutter, but I was wondering if it was safe storage wise to cut a few more? Also, if I should get more active and

Dienogest vs Zoladex
Hi Everyone, I have stage 4 endometriosis and Thoracic Endometriosis. It’s in my pleura adjacent to my vena cava and several places on my diaphragm. I’m on the mirena coil since December 2021 and was taking the progesterone only pill (cerazette) on top for the last couple of months. I became pregnant

If you take the pill in the pocket only, what frequency and duration are your AF episodes?
If you only take Pill in the Pocket, for example Flecainide 100mmg, I would be interested how often you have AF episodes, how long they generally last and if you always medicate with the PIP or do you do other things to resolve the AF episode. Do you have a recording monitor? Also, how long have you

Lost of treatment's efficacy
Has it ever happen to you that a pill loses its efficacy?Last June I switch to a new contraceptive pill, which allows me to have the most normal summer of my life, without any bloating and any pain. It is a couple of weeks that pain started to come back slowly, and now I have pain almost like before

does the manufacturer of generic med matter?
hi! this is a weird question. But today I noticed that the generic guanfacine refill I picked up for the same Rx and same dose of previous refill looked different than what I got in last months bottle. I realized that last month the 1mg Guanfacine ER pill has APO on 1 side and GUI1 on the other.

Is there any way of getting rid of BRAIN FOG? I have been taking medication all my life, side effects of this & that over the decades!
I am 66 years of age, I suppose it is dementia, but I'm a fighter, a survivor, feel like being put in a coma and letting the pill gunge drain away? Would just plain exercise help? All the effects of decades of pills and medication left in my system all my life, just thinking of some of them, naturally

contraceptive pill affects
hi. I started taking the pill when I was 17. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid when I was 19 (doesn’t run in the family). I took the pill continuously until 2020 and then had a baby and haven’t gone back on it. For years and years I took 100mcg levo until after the birth it was reduced to 75
