Affect of Alendronic acid if needing dental work?
This aspect bothers me as well as the implications of taking Alendronic acid. At age 81 after taking AA for about 18 months, I stopped it after I was prescribed HRT patches for another problem . Whilst HRT protects bones to a certain extent , I believe it doesn't increase bone density as does AA.

Itcing and cramp in menopause
I'm 62, a late comer to the menopause. No hit flushes as such, just overall hotness. When estrogen starts to diminish, does it do it bit by bit? I seem to be ok for a while, then another symptom kicks in. Atm I have itchy arms and sore joints. It's a bit debilitating. Also cramp has returned in

How many Estrogen Patches to use?
Here's a plot of the Estradiol serum concentration (pg/mL) as a function of total dose (micrograms) of estrogen patches over 1 week. The plot tells the number of patches and how often to change them. The three data points fall nicely on a straight line, which makes good sense. The PATCH study used

Estrogen has been used for 85 years.
I made this chart which shows the historical timeline of Estrogen use for treating prostate cancer. Estrogen has been used for about 85 years, with various forms of delivery. With the exception of high-dose oral estrogen (DES) causing blood clots from 1945 to 1970, the other forms of estrogen (e.g.

Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy anxiety?
I have surgery next week and I’m terrified. They say they can ‘probably’ do it laparoscopically, but this really isn’t reassuring. The thought of the scars, people going inside me, being so vulnerable to others, the pain, the hospital itself, having people feel sorry for me, it’s all making me sick and

medication change
hi I’m 5 days after FET, and the last couple of days I’ve got a banging headache, I’m on Estrogen and progesterone, when I initially took the estrógen it gave me a headache, then settled down on its own, but this next box I’ve started is the same strength different brand could this be causing the headaches

Is this low B12 / folate?
Hi all! Curious if anyone can advise please- I am fatigued (really struggle at work), brain fog, aches and pains - have been taking HRT for few months but not cured it! Also stable levothyroxine for many years and have Psoriasis although mild. Wondering if I should ask GP for further investigation

Looking for Estrogen users...
Hello, I'm doing a survey of estrogen users. I'd like to find out: 1. How many patches or gel pumps do you use a day, or a week? And what dose of E2 patches do you use? 2. What's your PSA? 3. What's your estradiol? 4. What's your testosterone? 5. What's your DHT (if you measure it)? 6. How

BFP now BFN after transfer
I had a frozen embryo transfer, tested positive last week and continuing to take progesterone and estrogen. I did a test today, and then a couple more to make sure, but they all now say negative. Can the estrogen and progesterone prevent bleeding and early miscarriage symptoms? I have a viability scan

Endo finally tested FT3! Thoughts?
At my last endo appt early Dec, the consultant kept his same stance that my blood tests were all in range and my symptoms were all due to perimenopause. He said there was slight room for a small increase in levothyroxine so ive gone from 125x5/100x2 to 125x6 /100x1 and told me to speak to my gp and

Hello I have been suffering with terrible pain in my right side lower groin. I described to the Gap that it feels like I am carrying something or a pressure in lower back and at times causes my right thigh to actually go numb. I went to the GP and was referred for an ultrasound for a hernia. No hernia
