How do you cope with infertility?
Hello, I'm really struggling with not being able to conceive and starting counselling next week. How do you cope? It's so hard finding enjoyment in anything, as all I want to do is have a child and be a mum. I have no interest in socialising, exercising or doing anything that would usually bring me happiness

Collective nouns for endocrinologists... and how do I manage the endo man?
Hi - I hope everyone is well. I've run out of patience with my NHS endo. I requested a dose increase by email in early july on the back of my latest test results and endo man said he'd think about it. I chased a week later and apparently the poor chap got seconded to A&E... so I never did get a response

Where do I start?
Sorry in advance for my awkward expression as it is not my first language. But I will try my best to make sense of my situation. I am a mother with 8 year old son. diagnosed with ADHD and Tics last summer. It was hard so broken to see how much he was yelled at / sent to the principal’s office. It

Anxiety
Hello I’m currently going through a very stressful time with treatment for breast cancer. At present I’m waiting for an MRI scan on my brain to check for possible secondaries. It’s been a rollercoaster ride and my anxiety levels are through the roof. I’ve managed so far with counselling but feel I may

Married to a lovely man with severe ADHD and memory issues. Help!
I typed "My husband had ADHD and I think I'm going crazy" into Google search out of pure desperation. This site popped up, so I know that I am not alone. My issue is that he is incredibly forgetful then denies conversations/situations ever happen. It's an unintentional "gaslighting". After 12 years

It’s All Due to the Thyroid: Lessons Learnt From a Patient's Perspective
It's all very well repeating that not everything is due to thyroid but… All too often, continuing symptoms are due to inadequate and/or inappropriate treatment of thyroid issues. When a doctor says something isn't due to thyroid, they need to provide a diagnosis of what is causing it. Saying it is

Feeling sad and hopeless
Not sure what am hoping to achieve out of writing on here, but am just feeling so unbelievably sad. We had our second FET ON 30th June and got a BFP. My scan day was supposed to be next Monday, but I miscarried on Saturday. All very embarrassing and undignified at a petrol station on the way back home

Depression and anxiety
Hi. I'm new here. I have been experiencing depression for about 30 years now and have had counseling, antidepressants and exercised. I am currently taking an antidepressant. I have had intermittent anxiety episodes for the last 10 years which I have kept somewhat under control with breathing techniques

High ALP after tE2 failure
Interesting. After about 3 months of high-dose estradiol patches, I got my E2 up to 487. But my T only fell to 64. What gives? I was pretty confident after the first month, when only got to T of 187 on 4 patches 2x weekly, that a 50% increase to 6 patches would do the trick... but on the elevated dose

Needing encouragement and support
I am a therapist who experiences anxiety. I have been doing great and love where I work and who I work with. Last week I had to sign an affidavit for a release of records for one of my child clients in a custody dispute. I feel like that was my trigger. My graduate program was more focused on general

DIO2 test
Genetic counselling post DIO 2 test. Thinking that because my daughter seemed to have a sensible GP we could save £80 daylight robbery by asking for her results to be sent to him, we did that. He says he doesn’t understand them, so cancelled the request. Regenerus won’t release the results to her. My

Do you see me?
I see my behavior as a 'Do you see me' disease. We hide our feelings because we are afraid to expose ourselves to others. Do you see the hurt/loneliness that I feel. We also hide our pain behind a veneer of happiness. In the end we try to seek treatment and counseling. Generally we are given meds

Viability scan
I haven't actually had the scan yet. It's tomorrow at 10.30am (7+1). I'm a nervous mess I won't lie. A few miscarriages under my belt have def left their mark. My hugely supportive and amazing and loving and wonderful family is probably as invested as I am so I don't want to break their hearts either

Relationship Problems Stemming from ADHD
My partner and I have been together for nine years and have 2 beautiful babies together. One of the biggest points of contention in our relationship is my inability to keep the house clean and organized. It causes my partner a lot of stress and sometimes I feel so guilty and ashamed to have my children

Genetic testing
Hi there. I am a 43 year old female, recently diagnosed with Familial Hypercholesterolaemia. My latest blood tests showed that my levels had dropped from 9.6 to 9.4. When I was first diagnosed 2 years ago it was 9.9 so it is proving to be quite hard to control. I maintain a low fat diet and Do what

Mental Health Resources
I hope that it’s alright, I would like to give you free online resources that helped me with mental health. I would like to help as many people as I can and there’s so many people who struggle with mental health. It’s a serious issue and I think people should have more access to resources, especially
