Hysterectomy & Hormones
Hi all, I'm booked in for a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy next month and wondered if anyone will check my hormone levels as part of the follow up? I've been on Prostap injection for 2months now (due my 3rd this week) and have gained a stone already. I read that a surgical

Low bp causing tiredness?
it’s just over a year since my cardiac arrest and I just had a review at my surgery. I was keen to try lowering my atorvastatin dose due to aches and pains and fatigue (and had also been warned I was sat risk of diabetes). They agreed to try lowering my dose from 80 to 40 mg and also arranged blood tests

Hysterectomy or both hysterectomy and oophorectomy?
Hi, I'm on my 4th month of Decapetyl injections. I'm due to be reviewed by Consultant on 23/9. I'm currently listed for ' full pelvic clearance' due to DIE. I'm 47 and have been fortunate to have X3 children. The reason for messaging is two fold.1) How many of you have had both hysterectomy and oophorectomy

Hey there all, hope you're all as well as you can be. I would like to know if anyone has tried Hormone Harmony as an equivalent to HRT? I've done my own research and the ingredients don't seem to counteract with mtx. However, as predicted the Company won't confirm this obviously coz of legal implications

For IVF pregnancies, what week in your pregnancy did you stop taking estrogen and progesterone?
Hello Lovely ladies, I had a question about when each of you stopped taking E2 and Prog after your Embryo Transfer. Did you'll have an FET (modified or fully artificial) / fresh transfer? Also did you'll wean off gradually or go cold turkey. Im currently 7w 2days. My OBgyn has told me to take everything

Help with results and medication prescribed
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a few months ago after some routine private bloods for peri-menopause issues. TPO antibodies result then was >1300. Was advised by private menopause clinic to see private thyroid clinic. Also went to GP who said he would just monitor with yearly bloods as TSH fine. But

HRT and RLS/PLMD experiences?
I'd like to call on the community to talk about experiences with HRT and RLS/PLMD. I know some of you have very strong feelings about HRT - but I'd like to hear from you if you personally have: 1+ use/used HRT and found it made your RLS/PLMD worse, better, no change? 2+ found that Estrogen made your

I am now waiting for an operation for the removal of the other ovary and a hysterectomy. My doctor advised that because of the nature of the cancer he wouldn’t

Osteoporosis and alcohol consumption
Hi All! A quick success story and a question from my side (59 yr. old female, American living in Germany and Greece). Two years ago my T-score lumbar was -3.4 and hip -1.3. Two years later - having refused to take bisphosphonates - the scores are lumbar -2.5 and hip -1.2. How did I do it? Lifting

Hypothyroid diagnosis
Hi All, I am hoping someone can help me. I used to be really skinny as a teenager and lived in a sunny country. One day my neck got very swollen and after this repeating a few times I decided to visit a doctor who said I had thyroid issues. I can't remember the diagnosis back then but he said I would

Pain, bloating and fatigue
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed last year with endometriosis and I have cysts on my ovaries. I think it's stated due to perimenopause and the HRT I have been prescribed has helped with the perimenopause symptoms, however the pain, bloating and fatigue of endometriosis are worsening.I have a consultant appointment

Endo/ibs/perimeno/which one!?
Hi all. Very new here. I guess I’m just looking to see if anyone has any similar issues, a bit of reassurance and advise me on what the heck I’m meant to be doing! Went on the contraceptive pill at 17 as I got the most horrendous pain that would make me pass out nausea etc and they were very heavy.

Undiagnosed Hypothyroidism
I've been experiencing hypothyroid symptoms for a couple of years now. My TSH has been steadily creeping up, but so far has remained in the "normal" range when checked in my local surgery, around 3.4. I had some private tests done and my TSH was shown as 4.4 (June) and 5.9 (August). My second test

Coil for endo
I am currently going through the peri-menopause. My GP has strongly advised to have a coil fitted to fix my irregular heavy menstruation. Once this has been rectified I can have HRT that i desperately need. As a 49year old with no children I didn't want the coil fitted as I have heard horror stories

Up and down…
I’m on 87.5mcg levo. My last blood tests showed low ferritin (32), t4 19.1 (12-22) t3 3.9 (3.1-6.8), slightly over range testosterone (on hrt but not on any testosterone). I’m seeing a thyroid specialist for the first time at the end of the month and will ask about iron testing and low ferritin, and
