Endometriomas and IVF
Just looking for some advise or from anyone who has gone through similar! I had surgery last June to remove bilateral cysts diagnosed with stage 4 endo and was put on Decaptyl for 3 months following this to stop regrowth. However within 6 months of TTC I now have 2 Endometriomas on my right ovary

Transplant clinic
Hi on Tuesday I was at clinic for the first time after my surgery to make sure that everything with my heart was ok. I got an echo scan which was fine, I have mild regurgitation (I am not really sure what that means) my consultant is not too concerned about it. The main worry for me is my blood pressure

ovulation after excision surgery
Did anyone have issues with not ovulating after surgery? Last 2 months I don’t think I’ve ovulated. Last cycle was 7 weeks (I do usually have a long cycle but not that long!)

Good chilly May morning 🥶
Good morning with windchill it’s 22 degrees in Pocatello Idaho that’s at least 20 degrees below average. I’m still toughening it out in my shorts 🩳 it is supposed to warm up this week 🤞🏼. Rozy is doing better pretty much healed up from surgery and ear infection 😊 I’m just about over my cold/crud

Hello. Following my recent post about my dry eyes, I had my follow-up appointment on Monday nearly 4 months post right trabeculectomy & it did not go well. Had a visual field test and eye scan. No change to my right eye but my left eye continues to lose peripheral vision. The pressure was elevated even

Access To Patient Records
Just want to get my facts straight before I complain. I had access to all my records visible on Patient Access and the NHS app last year. At some time this year everything prior to September ‘23 disappeared from these apps. This is not confined to my records - hubbies and other friends have gone too
