Help! cascade of hormonal events after Covid booster! Not sure where to turn next…
Hi everyone I started having menopausal symptoms when I was 47. As I had the merino coil I was just given a 50mg oestrogen patch which worked wonders and got rid of the hot sweats. All was running smoothly until about a year later when I started getting hot flashes and itchy skin. Went up to 75 patch

Been in constant agony since excision surgery in January, at my wits end please please help
They inserted a mirena
IUD
as a way to manage my endo going forward. When I tell you, the past year has been the most agonising of my life! Immediately I had problems with bleeding, I bled for about 3 months straight after the operation.

Not coping with pain right now
Had generic painkillers, hot shower while covering on the floor, writing this post in a brief few minutes of moderate pain before the severe pain inevitably comes crashing back. No comfy position. Sweating, feel faint. Pain indescribable. I can’t be on the pill. Prescribed painkillers don’t scratch

Help… too young for lap
Hello all, I’m hoping someone will be able to help as I’m feeling so frustrated and not listened to. Since being around 12/13 I have experienced horrendous periods, debilitating pain, fainting, vomiting, fatigue, bowel issues and a whole host of other symptoms which have never been taken seriously

Told by gynae MRI could not be done to check for endo/adeno, confused!
Hi I posted last week as due to go for hysteroscopy and was pretty worried. Gynae was friendly and due to me saying about pelvic pain offered option of general anaesthetic if I wanted it, which I do. I said that previous ultrasound had showed a bulky womb, he said that was prob due to the fibroids I

experience with London Egg Bank
Dear Fertility Warriors, I hope you’re all doing well! I’m reaching out to seek your experiences with the London Egg Bank. For a bit of background, my partner and I have been with CRGH for a few years now and have been on their donor list for over a year. We haven’t been very proactive in exploring

Pending Hysterectomy Advice
Hi everyone, I’m feeling anxious to write here, it’s only tonight I thought maybe something like this might help, alongside those who know and are experiencing the same as me. I’m due to undergo surgery for a hysterectomy in December, and am now starting to feel incredibly anxious. Sorry for the essay

HSG tube check before IUI?
Hello everyone, While I am waiting for the first IVF appointment, I cannot stop thinking, that I never checked tubes before IUI, and that could be also a reason for failures. I wonder if anyone who has gone through IUI did a tube checking before a procedure? I am horrified on reading how painful

40 y.o. need to make decision another IUI over IVF, very low reserve, mentally at edge
Hello and thank you for this forum, which I just found exist. We tried naturally for over a year, but was not aware my only 1 follicle produced monthly never grew to more than 8-10 mm and so I assume have not had the ovulation (based on ultrasound tracking of a few last months). Beginning of May was

NHS IUI funding and BMI
Hello, we’ve been referred by our gp to a clinic in Lincoln for IUI because of male infertility. I’ve read on the NHS website that they only do IUI for certain BMI ranges. I’m just in the “overweight” range. Does anyone know if I have to be in the “healthy” bmi to go ahead with IUI on the NHS?
