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

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

IUI instead of IVF when poor response to stimulation
Hello lovely people. I’m sorry for this long message but I wondered if anyone has an experience of IUI after IVF. I’m 43, no underlying factors, no MFI etc. we have done 5 cycles (high dose stims) producing 8-12 eggs each cycle, good fertilization and 1-4 embryos each cycle. Unfortunately all our

First period after laproscopy
Good morning everyone. After a night of barely sleeping due to terrible pain I'm hoping someone can help/ share their experience as I'm really struggling at the moment. I had laparoscopic surgery at the end of September which confirmed endo. It was at the base of my bladder, pouch of Douglas ( I've

To ICD or Not To ICD (Part 2)
My original post regarding this matter appeared on these pages 23 days ago. All of the replies I received were positive. Yes, a small number mentioned issues around post-operative pain. I have no real concerns about the procedure itself. These things vary from one person to another. I think the thing

AFIB help
My husband who is only 40, has been in constant atrial fibrillation for almost 9 months. Which came as a surprise as he has always been a healthy fit person his whole life. He has had bloodwork and doesn't have any deficiencies. He had 2 cardioversions, both unsuccessful, only lasting a few days then

Hi there. I would be interested to hear from others experienced with having a biventricular or other pacemaker fitted. I had one fitted last Friday. Half way through the operation I experienced an awful pain within my throat/neck. Was administered more painkiller. It persisted after the operation

Breathing in feels acrid or like cold air = afib symptom?
Hopefully last one I promise :) Husband ad-hoc (several times per day) says his inbreath feels like it’s acrid or like really cold air sort of in the region under the collarbone down the rib area. Has anyone else got anything similar? Could it be related to afib? I really am sorry but we’re 7 months

Diaphragmatic spasms and uncontrollable stomach breathing = afib symptom?
Does anyone have diaphragm issues or involvement from their afib? My husband has ad-hoc cramps (right by the solar plexus, you can see the contractions). After these attacks which also have uncontrollable stomach breathing he’s exhausted and says it’s like he’s done 100 sit-ups. It impacts his appetite

Difficulty swallowing (cool liquid) =afib symptom?
Ad-hoc when drinking cool liquids it’s like they get stuck above the collar bone before after a while finally progressing down. Is this an afib symptom? No issues swallowing foods or hot drinks. I’m thinking this is possibly a vagus nerve issue? Does anyone else have swallowing issues and if so is

Can you have “attacks” when in persistent/constant afib?
If you are in persistent/constant bradycardic (40-60ish bpm) afib can you still have “attacks” of afib? Sort of ad-hoc exasperation of say breathlessness, chest pressure etc. I’m not even sure that question makes any sense… we are still trying to sort out what are “afib symptoms” and what isn’t after

Itchy ICD area after 4 years
I had my ICD fitted 4 years ago now and recently the area of skin directly over the ICD has gotten really itchy. It's sometimes on the surface but when it's under the surface it drives me mad! Has anyone else experienced this before?

To ICD or Not ICD
Thank you to everyone out there who responded to my post yesterday. As I suspected, there are a lot of people out there who have positive experiences of ICDs. Their experience and views have been really very helpful. I had more or less made up my mind but there was a nagging doubt that had been created

IUI vs. IVF
Hi, Firstly let’s tell you a bit about mine and my OH’s situation. We’ve been TTC for 2 years, I’ve had an internal ultrasound, HyCoSy - all fine and clear. My AMH is normal and I have regular periods. My OH’s results are also all normal apart from low sperm count. so we’ve been told to go for IVF
