Run down before FET - will it affect outcomes? ( Impossible question, I know!)
Hi everyone, I just wondered if anyone can give me some much-needed reassurance about going ahead with FET even if you have been mildly ill in the run up. I'm due for a scan on Saturday to check lining thickness after 2 weeks on progynova. This is my first transfer and I've been doing what I can to

Intense itching at night
Hello there I have been taking 4 pumps of Oestrogel at 8am since November and I have intense itching at night. I wake up with night sweats around 2-3am and my torso und inner thighs are super itchy. It lasts for about 1 hour. I wonder if anyone has a similar problem? And if so, is there anything

Query about varying test dates - programmed vs natural FET
Hello. Wondered if anyone could advise. I’m having a programmed transfer shortly. Our test date will be 14 days following transfer of a 5 day embryo. For previous natural FET’s our test date has been 11 days following transfer. Does anyone know why the advised test date would vary depending on the type

Menses, Mtx and Menopause..…
Hello women! I have finally got around to watching the two Davina McCall Menopause documentaries on All4.. I urge you to watch these if you haven’t seen them yet. Anyway. This is a bit of a weird one… I started taking Mtx 12 years ago at 42. My periods stopped immediately. I had a few ‘hot flushes

Vaginal oestrogen and gyno (man boobs) on husband
I'd just like to share my story about vaginal oestrogen. Before I started patch HRT, I decided to try vaginal oestrogen first to see if that would help with painful intercourse due vaginal atrophy brought on by the menopause. My (younger) husband is a health and fitness person who is super toned

Endo and HRT
I have not yet been diagnosed with endo but pretty sure I have it. I'm perimenopausal and my question is has anybody with endo successfully taken HRT? I feel I really need now due to menopause symptoms being so bad but worried about the oestrogen side making things worse. TIA

Going around in circles
Looking for a little advice as I don’t know what to do with my latest blood results. iv been on 100 levothyroxine for underactive thyroid for 5yrs now. Levels seem to fluctuate every now and again so it was upped to 125mg then reduced back to 100mg but levels have remained fairly stable in recent

Test Result Advice
Hello all! Just got these bloodwork numbers back and could use some kind advice please. I used to take Armour Thyroid after a diagnosis of hypothyroid, then later Thiroyd from Thailand, and then only OTC glandular. I finally found a "functional med" doctor who put me on 15mg NP Thyroid after a test

11dp6dt OTD: BFN
Hi all just a quick update, I managed to hold out testing until this morning. Since 7dp ET I knew I hadn’t made it happen. Ladies with Endo know that pain all too well don’t we? I’ve had zero bleeding in comparison to my first round, but I’m on a ton of progesterone and estrogen that’ll be it right?

ERA test and hormone bloods
Hi I am due to have an ERA test and just took a final look at my clinic notes which say "you may be asked to have a hormone blood test a few days before the procedure to see how you are absorbing the medication". I am on estrogen tablets and patches, and also two forms of progesterone in the form

First FET - what grade embryo?
Hi all We’re due to begin our first FET next month. We have 5 embryos frozen. Some average, some good quality. In our initial consultation I asked what grade embryo would be transferred, worst or best. We were told the best will be transferred first. We’re grateful to be in this position, however

Is it normal after receiving two firmagon shots in the abdomen for the injection areas to be hard?
Well good news bad news. I qualified for a cutting edge trial at Yale, unfortunately they won’t let me do it until I’m back on a SOC ADT drug for two months. I bit the bullet because I’m allowed to stay on the estrogen gel to control the hot flashes. I had my first firmagon shots Tuesday. Two needles

Hi All - Gynecomastia
Hi everyone, so a bit of background from me. 40 year old male, always been a social drinker until covid hit then I started drinking a bit more. Just before covid in 2019 I went to the docs as I generally felt rubbish, tired and some abdominal pain and had full blood panels inc LFTs and all was clear.

lap recovery time
hi everyone , I’ve got a date for my first lap. Just wondering what the average recovery time is, I get it’s very dependent on what is found etc. To be honest my symptoms have been so much better as I’ve been taking a cocktail of herbal remedies that have been amazing for the pain so I doubt they will

does Ibrance cause gastritis? FODMAP diet helps diarrhea from Ibrance.
I have estrogen positive MBC since 2018 and on Ibrance and Faslodex since that time. I have been in remission for 18 months. one year ago I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which showed severe stomach inflammation. My symptoms were persistent nausea and frequent diarrhea. I took a course of proton pump

Estrogen Receptors
New study below [1]. At the time I was diagnosed (2004), there was enough research on the 'new' estrogen receptor [ERbeta], to cause concern. At diagnosis, ERbeta has generally become downregulated. In contrast, ERalpha, which is otherwise restricted to stromal cells, starts to appear in PCa (epithelial
