HRT and diarrhoea
I started HRT at 49 a few months back, not due to menopausal symptoms, but because I found my testosterone to be at the very bottom of range. The very good private hormone doctor I saw said HRT should balance my hormones and is a better way to increase testosterone than by giving testosterone (it did

I had a novasure 9 years ago. Very successful results. Now I’m on HRT and utrogestan isn’t agreeing with me. Can I have the mirena coil?

Natural FET possibly cancelled
I had a failed fresh transfer at the beginning of June. The plan was made to try for a natural modified FET this month as my cycles are regular and the risk of prenatal hypertension with a hormone FET was not ideal for me. I had my day 10 scan on Thurs and my dominant follicle was already 14.5mm but

Back pain
Apologies in advance for the long post After a bit of a battle with Rheumatology I had a Pet scan back in February that was suggestive of mild PMR They had previously diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia at the age of 51 as I was far to young for PMR and my blood work was unremarkable I was given 15mg of Pred

Any tips for upcoming THR?
My hip replacement is scheduled for five weeks time. PMR history is diagnosis end of 2020, and infrequent rheumy appointments. I was seeking advice for increasing pain from April 2022, so remained on 7mg pred for about a year, finally completing a slow taper to 6.5mg about a week ago. My GP had eventually

Thyroid and HRT?
Hi everyone - sorry for the long post!! I was diagnosed as underactive over 15 years ago (autoimmune) and, as consultant originally explained, I needed to increase levothyroxin dose over the years. For the past few years I've managed reasonably well on 175mcg in winter and 150mcg in summer. I started

Hashi's & Menopause/HRT - weight loss help!
Hi all, I have Hashimoto's and have been on levo 75mg with combined HRT (oestrogen patch and progesterone pill) for a few years. Had a total hysterectomy almost 2 years ago, but they left my ovaries, due to extensive endo, adenomyosis and fibroids. But I have literally been stuck in limbo since then

Thinner lining on transfer day
Hello everyone, I’d really appreciate your experiences. I’ve had a FET today on a natural cycle. 7 days ago my lining was 11.4mm and today for the transfer it was 7.2mm. Has anyone else seen a drop off like this? I asked the doctor and she said it could be that the lining has compacted and that above
