HRT question
Sorry, I know it's technically off-topic but I also know there is a lot of knowledge on this board! I've been prescribed HRT; estrogen patches & progesterone tablets. When should I start wearing the patches? I'm on day 13 but cycles are somewhat irregular...

Mechanical valve
Thanks for your replies! You are correct, I think I got my terminology wrong, sorry. I will have a mechanical valve not a biological valve, thus the need for warfarin. I was also hoping to use the self testing kit for warfarin, as we spend much time in Africa, which could be rather tricky. Good to

Synthetic mytral valve
Hello, Soon I will have mytral valve replacement. I'm 56 female and lead a very active life. My concern is not so much getting back to fitness after surgery but more how much warfarin really affects day to day life. Also I was wondering, are there still no other alternatives to taking warfarin when

Low testosterone 35y/o F
Hi all, I had a female hormone panel done because I suspected something was awry with sex hormones alongside Hashi's and extremely low cortisol (currently on levo, T3, and hydrocortisone). It's come back with good estrogen and progesterone but almost undetectable testosterone: Testosterone: <0.087 (<

Ped5i/Tadalafil etc as a benefit to SE of ADT?
Tadalafil , etc is prescribed for ED, BPH and PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension). It is pretty much agreed upon that Tadalafil increases insulin sensitivity thus improving lean body mass, particularly around the gut, improves Testosterone/estrogen relationship and is good for heart and vascular health

Night sweats
I have noticed this week I have woken up with water on my back and chest. My hair is wet and my bedding is too. I am in my sixth week of recovery since having open heart surgery, valve replacement. Has anyone else experienced this, I have only noticed it this week.

Irritability on levo dose increase?
Hello all, I'm about 4 weeks in to a dose increase of levo from 100 to 125mcg. I'm familiar with a surge in 'wired and frantic' energy when I've reached about the 3 week point on a new higher dose in the past. And I had that a few days ago. It had settled. However today I've been increasingly irritable

Does HRT estrogen patch and progesterone pill cause weight gain?
So now my big question is does HRT cause weight gain? See now my doctor changed her mind and she is going to let me do the estrogen patch and take the progesterone pill. But I am terrified because I've never been on hormone replacement therapy and I am a person who has had anorexia for over 25 years

Any advice regarding hemorrhaging
I am in such a mess. I went for a hysterectomy on 5th September due to large fibroids and flooding. When they got in they found endometriosis scar lesions have attached my cervix to my bowel and left ovary. They didn't touch it and I was offered Zoladex instead which I declined as the side effects put

Thyroid, anemia, cortisol and fake menopause - iron IV on Monday
Hey everyone,I have been struggling recently with a lot of symptoms, mainly crushing fatigue to the point of dizziness and blurry vision. After years of trying different meds, it is now clear I don't tolerate meds because of other factors. I clearly need higher dose of thyroid meds, but they don't work

Hrt yes or no
Hello....before my iron infusion a random gp suggested I take hrt ????I haven't presented with menopausal symptoms and still have regular cycles . I'm aware SOME women have rls during this transition but I'm also aware HRT is a stimulant and can cause a spike . As we already struggle surely hrt will
