Experiences with

Estradiol / Norethisterone

hi everyone, I am so sorry that this is a long one but it’s my first post on here so I have a lot to say. I would be so appreciative of anyone’s advice if possible : A couple of weeks ago I visited a private gynae consultant who basically said he is 99% sure I have endometriosis- just cannot be 100%

HelloI was told I wasn't ovulating and was given 4 months worth of Clomid to help. After taking the medication with no luck between June and September I then went on to have the most horrendous 3 months of none stop heavy bleeding and clots.

I’m waiting to have a fully medicated frozen embryo transfer and I’ve had to take norethisterone to induce a period as my cycle is so irregular. I came in to the clinic for a baseline scan on 30th Jan and all looked fine (no cysts) but nowhere near my period so they took bloods and gave me norethisterone

I was prescribed norethisterone (5mg 1 tablet 3 times a day for 10 days) and took my last pill on Saturday night and it is now Wednesday and I have not started bleeding yet. I also take birth control pill everyday and was advised not to stop taking that by my doctor so that my hormones could rebalance

I went on ivf on 14 jan . Dr said period would come within 4 to 5 days gave me norethisterone for 7days . I didn't use this as uses of this med on leaflet were totally different . In the previous egg retrieval my period was 18 days late . Can I use this med after 8 days of egg retrieval or wait for

We are preparing for our second cycle of ICSI, having transferred all viable embryos (4) through last year. I started Norethisterone on the 9th and am due to continue to the 20th Jan ahead of the base line scan on the 24th. I don't remember feeling any side effects last year on this medication, but

Hi, hope youre all OKIm travelling soon just for 4 days and was wondering if I should take norethisterone (primolut) to stop heavy period and pain whilst away.

Im 39 with endo. Had 3 unsuccessful rounds and due to start the next, but in between my second and third round I didn’t have a period. I’ve always had ovulation around day 14 and a 28 day cycle but my period never came. After 55 days I was put on norethisterone and started my period, so I could begin

Morning all, I’m after some advice on taking birth control before an IVF cycle. In my previous cycles, I’ve taken Norethisterone from about day 21 to extend my natural cycle as needed. Then had a bleed about 3 days after stopping. That’s then been day 1 of my cycle and baseline scan and meds have gone

I’m planning for embryo banking cycles in the new year. Unfortunately my DH is likely to need to be away for work in the early part of the year - it’s his most profitable time. And I don’t want to delay given I’ll be over 38 in early 2025. So just thinking about using something to delay period and

I feel like...we will soon be all moved to estradiol! A phase 2 study from the STAMPEDE trial found that transdermal estradiol (tE2) patches, when combined with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs), reduce PSA levels as effectively as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogues (LHRHa) in

The results comparing tE2 + ARPI agents to LHRHa + ARPI agents were presented at the ASCO meeting in February, 2025. The primary conclusion is that PSA responses were similar in patients treated with tE2+ARPI or LHRHa+ARPI, further supporting the use of tE2 patches for ADT in prostate cancer management

Hi All I was advised by endo to increase T4 by 25mcg as at the 27th September 2024. This was after getting too hot, not sleeping and very sweaty day and night and banging heart rate (too high for me). Well after 15 weeks I had a piercing headache, massive mood shift, felt depressed, cold, aches and

In late 2023 I started HRT because my perimenopause symptoms had become so severe - anxiety, depression and lack of sleep. I checked with my liver specialist at the time as to whether it’s ok with PBC and he said to just keep monitoring liver results. I improved dramatically straight away. But after

Hi all, I had my 3 month bloodtest done yesterday, I asked for a full iron panel as well but clearly they didn't do it 🙄 I asked for my hormones to be checked as I'm menopausal and I presume they're the ones at the bottom 🤔Any advice is appreciated as I feel like pants, I'm so tired all the time,
