I posted my daughters pre hysterectomy bloods in September and had some excellent advice. She has redone the blood tests and I still think the thyroid test results are strange. She has been on iron for 8 weeks. The first results are for September. And the second for

Social Life? Alcohol...
Just wondering if anyone still has a social life, going out having a few drinks? I know alcohol is bad for endo and inflammatory. I'm trying to limit it to 3 times a month. But December I have so many events! Going out tonight and dreading the aftermath tomorrow! But I enjoy going out and love wine so

Fellow gym goers during FET…
I’m half way through an FET - went straight into this one off the back of a failed round so been on Progynova oestrogen x3/4 per day for about 7 weeks. I’m a regular gym goer and teach classes at a gym too, but recently I’m finding exercise so hard and really suffering with a sore lower back and hips

TSH & T4 levels
Hi everyone I’m new here. Can someone help me settle a bit of an argument around TSH & T4 levels please? I have recently had a consultation with Newson health who tell me on 100mcg thyroxine my TSH should be <1. My GP is denying that stating my TSH is normal at 2.5. My T4 is 18.0. I have felt like

HRT question: how long did it take to feel the effects?
I have been struggling with crushing anxiety, insomnia, depression for a few months. It's unlike anything I have ever experienced. I started HRT last week, and am hoping for a little easing of symptoms soon! Just curious about other women's experiences. Please share!

Anxiety or hormones?
I've been feeling light headed and off balance since being diagnosed hypothyroid years ago, could be meds side effects or the gland itself. I'm also post menopausal so low oestrogen. Allergies bung up the eustachian tunes cause imbalance. All of these can cause disequilibrium leading to anxiety. I had

Help with blood results
I recently posted here for advice on whether I need levothyroxine as I have been subclinical for 10 years and now my tsh seems to be creeping up the last few weeks from 4.88 to 5.59 and now 6.15 all in the space of 3/4 weeks. I wonder if it is linked to the introduction of testosterone, I started hrt

Diagnosis and menopause
So yesterday was the day I got my scan done by the gynecology consultant she was very good and explained everything. I have alot of blood flow to my uterus and I have adenomyosis present in the back wall of my uterus. Part of me was shocked as I didn't think I'd have it deep down but It was confirmed

No stamina
I am confident I have my thyroid hormones at right level and most of my symptoms are gone. I am slowly losing weight, alert, happy, skin is better. My arthritis plays up hence the inflammation but my main issue is lack of stamina. I can only really do one thing a day after which I am wiped out and need

Afinitor +ESR1 mutation for the hive mind.
Hi I am starting Afinitor on Wednesday after a mixed scan a few weeks ago after 6 months on Orserdu. It suddenly dawned on me that Afinitor is combined with estrogen therapy, likely an AI. But doesn't the ESR1 mutation cause AI resistance? In which case does that make Afinitor less effective? I will

How long symptoms stay
hi I had 1 injection of Prostap end of sept and unfortunately I suffered with, headaches, insomnia, no appetite. I became really depressed and anxious as well. My dr said it works in your system 5/6 weeks and then stops and will start to leave my body. So I’m 4 weeks now past that. I’m just trying

CKD & menopause
Thanks to mackes I became aware that there might be a relation between menopause and CKD. I did a simple search in the Medline database - and sure enough! Early onset menopause and CKD - plus CKD might induce menopause due to reduced sex hormones. Which way the arrow points is unclear (does CKD

Ovaries or no Ovaries
I'm 46 next week and have recently been diagnosed with a large fibroid approx 15cm x 10cm and also an ovarian cyst. Consultant has recommended an hysterectomy as I'm also having severe bleeding during my period and am very anaemic. Hysterectomy is also being recommended as my mother had breast cancer
