What causes subclinical hypothyroidism?
My brief history: Diagnosed subclincal last year and have felt persistently awful on all doses of levo (25-75mcg) and 75 pushed my t4 slightly too high. The side effects of it have been debilitating and in many ways I feel worse taking it. 25mcg puts my t4 at around 18 which seemed high for a tiny dose

Advice please
Hi everyone, I’m fairly new to this group and was worried about posting but I’m feeling so lost. I am waiting on a diagnostic laparoscopy for potential endo. Pelvic pain started around a year and a half ago. I have had an internal ultrasound which only showed a small intramural fibroid but I was told

potential OC?
Hello. I just wanted to see if anyone had any advice or has experienced anything similar. In October I had surgery to remove 2 large cysts in both of my ovaries and endometriosis/ adhesions in my pelvis. The dr then wanted to put me on the contraceptive pill to stop the pain I was getting with my period

Advice - cysts and TTC
Just posting to see if anyone has been in the same position or can offer any advice! I had surgery last June where they found stage 4 endo. I had 2 large chocolate cysts one on my left around 8cm and the one on my right 10cm. The surgery wasn’t done in a endo centre which now I realise probably should

After birth fertility
Hi, ive just recently had a baby and the midwives have said that you are most fertile after giving birth and to think about contraception. Does anyone know if the ‘most fertile’ window is the same for someone who has PCOS? Thank you

Help with current BP problems
I have had above average BP readings since in my 20s when on the pill. I have always been overweight for my height , and have now been told I have CKD3 . I have been given potassium pills for the BP which have little effect only to raise my pain problems. This does not make sense to me as foods with

Worth seeing NHS gynaecologist after private surgery?
Hello, I still feel quite new to understanding endo and been fortunate to have had a short journey so far although I don’t know what to expect for the future. I started having really painful periods around the start of 2023 (was previously on the pill since my teens) and had already been suffering with

what’s the next step?
hi everyone. So I only managed zoladex for 4 months. To put it lightly they affected my mental wellbeing so much I hated myself on them. As well the severe joint pains and hair issues. I’m seeing my endo nurse tomorrow for a follow up. And I don’t really know what the next step is for me. I had my first
