LFT normal but a week of abstinence
My LFT is normal. Ferritin has been elevated for the past 5 years and GP is sending me to Hematology. I QUIT beer today and Test is 2 months away. I always for the past 5 years of test dont drink for 1 week before tests and is that why my LFT is normal? 5 years I drank 8-9 cans of beer a day 3-4 times

Gonasi dual trigger wait times, I’m confused!
hello everyone! I’d really love your expertise if I may ask for your help. I had one follicle present 20mm and my Dr gave me gonasi 6000iu on Tuesday 19th March to trigger ovulation and for us to have a go at conceiving naturally. I took Ovitrelle 250mg on Saturday 23rd. Ovulation was confirmed and

ferritin level 50
please could you advise! My Ferritin level is 50, GP has advised that this is normal and been flippant in her communication. I am right in thinking this level is too low ? How would I approach my GP with this information? Suffered since I was 6 now 48! Currently on Ropinirole but experiencing augmentation

Hello Is anyone able to interpret the test results my endo requested in addition to the usual Thyroid tests? These are they: FSH 9.4, LH 2.8; Prolactin 190; Testosterone 21.3; Cortisol 350. I think he's concerned about my Pituitary Gland. ALSO: I've been tying myself in knots over the equivalence

PV Iron deficiency and Endurance
I am 65, diagnosed with PV November 2023 (had pulmonary embolus). I am on Hydrea and all blood counts are now normal. My usual activity has included a lot of bicycling, often long hilly rides (50 miles or more) and multiple days in a row. I asked MD if there was anything that might make me feel more

Ferritin
I know that Ferritin is stored iron but I’m a bit confused about how Ferritin and iron correlate. Is it possible to have Ferritin in range but low iron - and what would be considered optimal Ferritin? My level has just been tested and has gone down from a stable 88 to 34 I’m sorry to be so dumb

Happy Easter.Its me again, Im not sure if im over medicated or under? Tried splitting doses took levothyroxine at 4am, then t3 7am. But ive not been feeling right. Lost heartbeats again a little heart pounding today and headache. So feeling worse today? The morning dose seems to affect me the most.

Suspected Vulvadynia? Severe and constant clitoris pain/burning with some pain underneath. All exacerbated by sitting/walking/weeing.
Me and my husband had sex over 6 weeks ago a few days after I began with burning type pain mainly at the front around my clitoris but it did seem to radiate underneath. I began drinking lots of water thinking I have cystitis. 1 week later I saw a GP and although my urine sample was negative to any

Which iron supplement to take?
My ferritin level is at 65 but understand getting above 100 could be beneficial. Is ferrous sulphate the way to go and if so how much would I need to take? TIA

Request sedation for a cortisone injection
So today I got some more bad news. I had my hip replacements checked as my newest one has been causing me a lot of pain. On my CT it showed that I have arthritis in my sacroiliac joint. Yet again, another joint that is either dysplastic or has arthritis. Did I mention I had two hip replacements at 25

Early days on T3
Good morning, I started T3 just under 3 weeks ago as prescribed by a private Endo. He started me on 10mcg daily which I took for the first week. After reading some posts on this forum I reduced the dose to 5mcg daily as I was experiencing palpitations. A further 2 weeks in and the palpitations seem

Anyone take Co Q10 and are on T4/T3?
I’m seriously thinking of adding Co q10 to my daily routine. I get migraines, and having watched many chats on the World Migraine Summit recently, it stands out as something that might help. (I’m 58, so won’t be taking it for fertility reasons). I’m not on anything that might be contraindicated with

Light Bleeding, BFN 11DP5DT. Two days till period due and OTD… Any hope?
I’m such an idiot. I’ve had a very rough few days and today I got some very light bleeding. From my research it could easily be implantation bleeding, but my mind went nuts and straight to the fear of period, and like some possessed zombie I grabbed my pregnancy test and did 1, it came up negative :

High TSH (which keeps rising over the years) and consistently high T4 for 7 years with no major symptoms.
Hi, Over the last 7 years, my TSH has kept rising from around 5.88 and now it is at 11.9. My T4 has stayed consistently high at between 19 and 20 throughout this time. My antibodies test are normal with nearly non-existent antibodies and my T3 was normal in the middle of the range. All my other blood

Update in sustained release T3 and new paper
The recent review of treatment for hypothyroidism recommended further research to look at combination therapy. A group in Iran have done the following trial looking at sustained release combination T4/T3. Fascinating…… it suggests that daily sustained release capsules can deliver a stable T3 level over

HRT related
Hello 🌷 Please may I ask how much HRT are ladies on? Last night I accidentally left my old Evorel patch on (1 put a new one on every 3.5 days instead of the 3 day /4 day combo) and put on the new one. I realised it this morning and took the old one off. I guess it was still giving me oestrogen because
