My period was suppose to be yesterday as well but my test I took this morning seems to be darker so my head is baffled 🤯. I want to think

Cannot make up my mind...should I have POP surgery...or not?
I have had prolapse for about two years. I am using a pessary and have thought about surgery, but just do not want to go through all the pain/healing of a surgery and it does not really improve the prolapse without long term side effects from the surgery. I am also concerned after reading that many

Bleed during TWW
Hi All, I seem to bleed during the TWW, first four ivf rounds I was on either utrogestan or cyclogest pessary only and I bled day 8/9 of the TWW. Then the last two rounds I have been on one lubion and cyclogest pessary and the bleed would start on day 10/11. I have asked for prontogest for my 6th ivf

Uterine prolapse, after routine check up to change pessary
as I mentioned there had been some blood discharge the consultant refused to put replacement peassary in. Managed to gt an appt for ultrasound in a weeks time as sposed to be flying to kenya Monday 9. Now panicking as to what will happen, if I don’t have a pessary to hold everything up in place. Do

cyclogest question
Ladies on/taken cyclogest progesterone pessary. I’m currently on 400mg Twice a day in my luteal phase, I’m around 11dpo and going to test on the day my period is due for pregnancy. I had a scan yesterday and my corpus luteum is still active and progesterone level was 38nmol/l. Beta HCG blood test

Not exactly PMR but advice please about post menopausal dryness.
Since I was diagnosed with PMR in 2017 I have had frequent episodes of cystitis requiring antibiotic treatment. These seemed to be made worse by the Calcium and vitamin supplement I was prescribed so I stopped taking it. But I still suffer episodes of UTI/ cystitis about once a year and now my GP has

thrush, Canesten and bleeding
I have what I think it thrush every now and again. I’ve taken a Canesten pessary this week and am now having a period like bleed. I’ve never had this before from Canesten. Has anyone experienced similar? I’m wondering if I actually have Vaginal atrophy and welcome any thoughts!

bleeding after Canesten pessary
I’ve had episodes of thrush over the years all treated with tablets or pessaries. I used a Canesten pessary a couple of days ago and now have period like bleeding. Never experienced this after treatment and pretty sure it’s not a normal period bleed. Any advice on similar welcome

Uti/thrush
I'm not sure what to do...I've been suffering from what I think is thrush since taking antibiotics for suspected strep throat 3 weeks ago. Tried pessary x 2 but its still there. Now it feels like a uti has started and gp had given me more antibiotics but if I taje them it will make the thrush so much

Missed Lubion injection
Following my FET 12 days ago, I have been prescribed I x cyclogest pessary and 1 x lubion injection a day. Last night when I went to do my injection I realised I had run out of syringes and needles (I have plenty of the drug itself). It was late so I took a pessary instead as wasn’t sure what else to

Vaginal pessaries
HiI should be really grateful for advice from anybody in the same position as myself, who has managed to navigate the position in the UK regarding pessaries for pelvic floor prolapse. I am nearly 75 and found out around 6 months ago that I have a rectocele, grade 2, and a cystocele, grade 1 which unfortunately

Prolapse after surgery
I had a bladder prolapse stage three along with a few other parts that had prolapsed. I had all the usual symptoms, bladder hanging between my legs via my vagina, back pain, difficulty sitting and walking and severe constipation. My doctor recommended a hysterectomy since a pessary did not work for

FET Lubion starting day 2
Hey Ladies I’ve had a FET today after chemical pregnancy after fresh transfer in May I had a blood test yesterday & Progesterone was on the low side confirmed today so offered 3 pessaries of Cyclogest or Lubion plus pessary. I stupidly thought I’d ordered for tomorrow but it’s not coming Thursday

Latest test results
Hi, Slow Dragon kindly suggested I submit my latest test results , given that I continue with episodic fatigue. ( also heat/sweats). I’ve had a number of blood tests over the past 6 months all apparently normal but of course only TSH tested in respect of my diagnosis of hypothyroidism, prescribed currently

7dp5dt - progesterone levels have gone down?! And BFN...
Hello everyone,So I've been testing early since my FET (I know, but I've had 4 BFPs on prior transfers from as early as 3dpt and by 5dpt it'salways been very obvious) and apart from some misguided excitement over indent lines and faulty tests, it's been pretty clear that I'm out. I also just got my HCG
