changing from Armour to levo
Hi all I take armour thyroid and have done for over 10 yrs now. I was originally prescribed this by a private doctor but further down the rd I found a way to buy Armour myself so I self medicate. I test my levels regularly (probably every 4-6 months) and I’ve felt in a good place for years. That’s

’Modified’ natural FET - anyone ovulated before trigger?
I have a modified natural FET. So I take low levels of gonal f to stimulate ovaries to produce 1 or 2 follicles which naturally creates oestrogen and thickens my lining. I normally take a trigger when it’s ready. However I went for my scan today and they said I’d already ovulated! My ov sticks have

Important caveat regarding estrogen therapy
Prof. Richard Wassersug tells me that estrogen therapy may be contraindicated if you have a BRCA 1 or 2 gene mutation. You can get a free, saliva germline genetic test of 30 genes from Color, Inc. as part of the PROMISE registry.

Erectile dysfunction
Hi My first post, I think it is pretty obvious that many of us, me included, associate our self worth, status with our 'masculinity'. This may or may not be a good thing, but many, most men in fact consider themselves to be profoundly binary. They represent the '1' to a feminine '0'. When a man fails

Blood test prep
Hi, Please can someone remind me what I need to stop taking before thyroid blood tests are carried out? I’m currently taking HRT transdermal oestrogen, DHEA tablets and progesterone tablets. I also started taking b vit complex, methylated folate, niacinimide, omega oils. I’m undiagnosed currently

Estrogen vs ADT?
I've read 5 recent papers that discuss the use of estrogen as an alternative treatment to ADT (Lupron, etc.). The new data looks very favorable. A bit of history. Huggins discovered this effect around 1941-44, and he found that high doses of estrogen (estradiol) efficiently castrated men, which

Emma Alice opinions
Hello fellow IVF warriors. Apologies, I know Emma / Alice testing gets posted a lot but I would value any similar experiences. Quick back story - Miscarriage December 2022 (untested embryo, age 41) and 2 egg collections and 2 FET since both with euploid embryos. Didn’t even make it to OTD (upped

No benefit of chemo for ER+HER2- invasive lobular beyond estrogen therapy
Just found this in the digest I get of medical journal articles (MD Edge): Women with estrogen receptor (ER)–positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–negative invasive lobular carcinoma who are treated with endocrine therapy do not derive any additional survival benefit from neoadjuvant

PSA suppression
My PSA lows tend to be around 3.3, and it occurs to me that some might think it odd that I don't drive it lower. I think it is very common for men on ADT to draw too much comfort from a significant PSA reduction, if not a near-zero PSA. I have witnessed men misinterpret a dramatic drop in PSA as

HRT Questions
I wondered if any members could recommend or suggest good bioidentical HRT products. I've been on HRT for nearly 7 years. I went into menopause very abruptly after I came off the pill. A lot of weird health issues reared their head at the same time and I admit I wasn't very well at the time. I've mentioned

HRT Question
Hello Ladies I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you all a joyous, prosperous and blessed 2024, in good health and happiness! I wanted to ask a bit of a silly question I guess, but how do I know 1. If I’m on the right kind of HRT 2. How much HRT I need 3. When I’m taking enough

Perimenopausal questions
Hello, over the summer I tested my hormones during my luteal phase. I also have an underactive thyroid too which I know can cause low progesterone. A bit about my symptoms: I have low moods, tiredness, vaginal dryness, no libido, a three week cycle, heavy periods. My GP has prescribed me a estrogen based

Heading for transfer no.6 - protocol modifications
So today I had my follow up appt after 5th failed transfer. Was hoping mr Dr would suggest something new and boy has he done that! 😊😊 5th transfer I had HCG wash before transfer but no other additional tests/treatments. This time I’m having clexane injections, prednisolone, oestrogen patches instead

After help for a friend, only able to do natural transfers due to migraine?
You all helped me so much when I was on my fertility journey I was hoping you had some information to help my friend.When she was on a contraceptive pill she had to be on progesterone only as she'd previously had a migraine (only 1 or 2 in her lifetime). A couple of months ago she had an EC and transfer
