GP Coming - what to ask
having my annual review tomorrow and GP is coming to see me. Looking at all my past results I wonder, with them being up and down constantly, whether I am one of those whereby Levo no longer works for me and might be keeping me ill. Diagnosed back in 2005 and it's too far back to remember how I was

Some advice please
Hi, I'm in surgical menopause and have not felt 'well' for a number of years now. I won't bore you with the backstory of my trials and tribulations with HRT, all in the pursuit of feeling well enough to fully function. I've questioned Thyroid for some time, I had tests last September and posted them

DHEA & COQ10
Do you stop taking it when you are on meds for FET or after the transfer? I'm due to have a FET in a few periods time. However I want to start DHEA to prep my eggs if I need another cycle. Will I need to stop it when I start the Oestrogen patches or just when I have the transfer? My consultant said

Update after GP call
Had my call with the GP that I mentioned in my last posts. That was a bit of a disaster, although not as bad as it could have been. She did not read my notes or blood test results before the call. She asked me about symptoms, but was only concerned about weight gain and dry skin. I had already gone

Tibilone experiences
Hi. I have very severe endometriosis and adenomyosis and am awaiting surgery which will likely involve having a stoma. I’ve previously had left ovary removed and both tubes and I’ve recently been told my right ovary is failing. Unfortunately there was been little improvement to my Endometriosis even

Thyroid or menopause - which to sort first?
I've just checked the app, and the last of my blood tests are back. I definitely have started perimenopause and as per my last post I have high TPOab, high TSH (7.5 with high ref being 4.26), and lowish T4 (14.2 of a 12—22 range). I have symptoms that overlap the two conditions, but also symptoms that

Managing OHSS risk
I'm on my first IVF cycle and due for egg collection on Monday. We always knew I was high risk for OHSS as I have PCOS, and had an AMH of 205 initially, (which has reduced to 45 on Metformin), so were always planning to freeze the eggs from this cycle. My estrogen at day 5 of stims was around 3500 and

HRT question
Hello, I've been on oestrogen and progesterone HRT since last summer and it's making me feel a great deal better generally. But I've found that during the two weeks of the cycle where I'm not on the progesterone, I get very anxious. Is there any way of taking the progesterone all month? I'm on two progesterone

Prostap
Hi, I've had one prostap injection. Things were going great, I thought they might be the best thing ever.However my anxiety has crept in. My second injection was due today but I cancelled it. I've had one heavy bleed last week. I didn't have hrt with it, it was there waiting for me if I needed it.

FET query
Hello all,Can anyone explain to me the process of a FET in this scenario? Or any time lines/experiences of it. The consultant said I would have an injection on day 20 to switch my ovaries off, but then no more medication other than a scan/bloods on day 10ish to check transfer date. He said I may need

Should go into the OMAHA2a ODM-208 (MK-5684-004): phase 3 trial?
I had my 3 monthly OC visit last week. Blood test is showing 0.3 up from 0.15 six weeks ago. MO is suggesting that I should go into the ODM-208 (MK-5684): phase 3 trial if PSA rises above 1.0. PSA of 1.0 or above is a entry requirement for the trial, presumable to be sure that my current treatment

Disappointing response to stims 🙁
Hello everyone, I hope everyone’s journeys are going well. A bit of background about me … I follow a non standard protocol for FET where I inject gonal f alternate days to stimulate one or two follicle growth so the natural oestrogen encourages my lining to thicken. This normally takes 5 doses.

Any tips for Natural Modified FET (boost lining)?
Hi everyone, I have a persistent thinnish lining (around 6 to 7mm) after an episode of abnormal bleeding between periods (turned out to be silent endo and a polyp that did not show up on ultrasound). Before that, 11mm was my average. After failing a recent FET, my doctor decided to monitor my lining
