High cholesterol while on Ibrance and Letrozole.
Hello I'm wondering if anyone has been prescribed cholesterol medication while taking Ibrance and Letrozole...or has found someother way to lower their cholesterol levels? I've been on this combo for around 2 1/2 years with monthly Zoladex implant too. From what I can see from some brief research...the

INSULIN TOLERANCE TEST - Low cortisol & chronic insomnia
I’m still battling to get to the bottom of my chronic insomnia. I have low cortisol, also oestrogen and testosterone (despite HRT) and DHEA. I’ve had a Short Synacthen Test, which I passed as most thyroid people do. So I now know the problem doesn’t lie with the adrenals. I presume it’s with the

Coming off progesterone after an unsuccessful FET- any side effects
Hi, it's been about 11 days since I've come off progesterone (cyclogest , lubion) and something else I can't quite remember now, I think estrogen tablets after an unsuccessful embryo transfer. I've been getting headaches since then, feeling dehydrated and today I have significant stomach discomfort.

Help! on Pro-stap, tibolone HRT brought back endo pain!? Made me so unwell - anyone relate??
pro-stap monthly injections started November without HRT. Reduced lot of the endo pain (although made my stomach issues/sensitivity to food way worse). Decided to start tibolone HRT 10 weeks into the injections and it caused awful period/endo pain, spotting, flu type symptoms on and off. Only lasted

In Our Time: Hormones
On BBC Radio 4 yesterday (8th February 2024), almost an hour of discussion about hormones. I don't think there will be much new to members who have been around for a while. But there might be glimpses illustrating interesting aspects of hormones across all animal life. Thyroid hormones do get several

Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering

Is this thyroid?
hi there, I have been struggling with what I thought was Peri menopause/menopause symptoms for a while (dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog, dry eyes, fatigue etc) Last year these symptoms got progressively worse with pain under left arm in lymph node and weakness to the point I felt like collapsing

B12 or Menopause?
In Dec I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency <148 and low folate <2.2. I had 6 loading doses into the beginning of January plus a month of folic acid and felt better quite quickly. Since then I have felt worse again so I had another blood test last week. My b12 is now 559 which is normal and folate is

Should I be asking for an increase in Levo?
I have an appt with my endo on Thursday to discuss my latest results and those from last August and April when I was taking different amounts of levo. I always follow the suggested procedure of stopping Vit B complex a week before, early blood test and not taking levo for 24 hours. My most recent

Bright red blood on 17dpt (FET) after BFP
hi all, I’m quite panicking. This morning I noticed some pinkish spots when wiping myself. Went to work, and found some bright red blood on my pad. It continued until now. Small spots of bright red blood on pad, pink spots when wiping. I called the clinic at 9am and left a voicemail to be called back

Zoladex experience
Just wanted to hear other people's experiences on Zoladex if possible because I don't know if my symptoms are all in my head or I'm just being made to feel that way by the consultant. Who's only advice every time I go for a review every couple of months day just keep going with it a little bit longer

how soon after stopping prog/estro did you get period?
Found out today that our first fet failed. I already took my progesterone shot and morning estrace today but will not take it tomorrow. Wondering, if you've had a fet that didn't work, when did you get your period after stopping progesterone and estrogen?

Hi I've been on Tibolone since having full hysterectomy 3 years ago, following severe and rapid growing endometriosis. I went through such an ordeal with multiple surgeries in the end and whilst I'm ok and pain free now, it's always in the back of my mind that the endo could come back. I've been prescribed

signs of mild hypothyroidism?
Hi there, New to this forum 👋 grateful to be here 🙏 I’m wondering if anyone could shine some light on my thyroid test results. In March 2023 my TSH was 0.98 (range 0.27-4.2), and my T4 was 15.5 (range 12-22) - this was done with a private GP so sadly no T3. These bloods were taken after 12pm and

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms
