Hi, I've been feeling very unwell recently with bad fatigue, headaches, swollen and sore feet. I've had thrush 3 times in the last month too.

Update: Experience with Estradiol patches for ADT
I have had in the past (2012) what I consider to be quite terrible side effects from ADT with LHRHa (Eligard similar to Lupron).

Elevated Oestradiol
I’ve been suffering from frequent heavy periods and constant spotting for over a year. Around a year ago I had some blood tests and a pelvic scan - pelvic scan clear but my bloods showed my oestradiol to be elevated at 600 ( top of range 400). My problem has continued, I’m covered in acne and irritable

Halfway through 2ww
Hey everyone So I had my FET last Saturday and it went really well. Just to fill you guys in on the background this is my second FET. After the first one failed we had the rest of the embryos tested and one came back normal so that’s what went back in. This time we do things differently where I’ve had

Hormone help?
I know a couple of people on here are pretty good with hormones, but I can't remember who. I'm hoping someone could tell me a couple of things. I've had the following results from day 4 of my cycle: FSH: 6.16 (3.5-12.5) Oestradiol 177 (45.4-854) Testosterone 1.46 (0.29-1.67) And progesterone taken on

MTHFR/LAB WORK
Hello, I have recently got my blood & saliva test back. I cannot see my NEW Dr until Nov 14th. She did email me on blood work and said everything looked good except iron and wanted me to take an iron supplement. Before I went to her the first time in August 2019, I was dealing with severe fatigue, exercise

Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, etc.
Postmenopausal bone loss has long been recognized as a major problem. It always amused me that women were told to take calcium when their bones were leaching calcium. When osteopenia or osteoporosis occurs following the menopause shouldn't one suspect a hormonal issue? A 1988 paper [1] reported that
