First BFN today 😢 - trying to decide on back to back or a break.
Although I was expecting the news, it was heartbreaking to hear the words "I'm sorry..." and have our suspicions confirmed that there was failed implantation.We are now faced with making a decision in quick time as our Dr has signed us off to start our next Frozen cycle as soon as I have the withdrawal

Pain and discomfort
Hi, does any one else suffer with joint pain and stiffness.Some times I feel that I cam barely walk.. it'd likes the joints and ligaments don't want to move. I cant work out what is thyroidal and what is age related. I am currently taking HRT.. and this helped for a little while but it was very short

Major Flare
Hello all, its been sometime since I put something on here. I have had RA for about 15 years and after being diagnosed, methotrexate kept it under control for about 4 years. Then Humira for a further 6/7 years which was a life saver. I had a knee replacement in 2021, complete success but when I went

Did you take a break after a failed transfer? Feeling lost after 1st transfer
Hi, I'm at the end of my first tww and had bright red blood last night. I've know instinctively that it didn't work for a couple of days but have to wait until Monday for the official test.😢 I have another four embryos frozen and my clinic asked if I wanted to start another cycle straight away. I feel

HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Hello, Am booked for a hip replacement operation on 1st February. I had 2 knee replacement operations in 2017 and 2018. Although a hip replacement is supposed to be somewhat less painful and easier to recover from, I am dreading it for the simple reasons I have severe rheumatoid arthritis - so stopping

Introduction
hi everyone, I’m 50, in perimenopause and struggling big time with declining cognition, adhd hormonal issues. I currently take adderall XR which I find helpful but it wears off quickly. Would like to use hormone replacement But Dr says no…I’m still menstruating every month.

Caffeine / pregabalin / conflicting advice
I am under Professor Walker at Queen Square, a specialist for RLS. I am on Pregabalin (300mg before bedtime). But also on Citalopram for HRT, which he said should be switched to Bupropion as it worsens RLS. Unfortunately he did not give an amount, so my GP had to phone the "hot line" to a bank of

Help with getting medication
Hi so this was my blood results a month ago. GP told me I’m sub clinical and even though I have symptoms because they’d just prescribed me HRT because of aching, anxiety, tiredness, hot flushes in bed they said I had to try that first to see if it worked. Anyway the hot flushes have eased but nothing

Apparently Total T3 doesn't matter?
After a long battle of getting the GP's to check T3, finding it was low and them increasing levo (from 75mg to100mg) - my results are TSH 1.3 (range 0.23-5.6) Free T4 - 18 (range 9-23) Free T3 - 4 (range 3.1-6.8) Total T3 - 1.2 (range 1.3-3.1) Vit D 53 (range 50-139) I've lost my previous results

HRT, any thoughts please
I spoke to a doctor about trying HRT for my menopause symptoms. He said because my blood pressure was high, it's now normal using medicine and walking and because l am over weight. I am at a group and have lost 3 stone. He said he wouldn't recommend it for me because of increases in breast cancer, also

4th Open Heart Surgery - Valve Replacement
Hi! My dad is having to have his 4th OHS in the coming weeks and I'm feeling a bit scared and anxious about it all. His last one was only in July 2021 - they are replacing the same valve that was replaced last time plus another one. Does anyone have any experience of having 4 open heart surgeries? Many

hip replacement
How did you make the decision to have a replacement? I keep going between thinking that I need to have it as soon as possible and then I think no I will try everything else first. I can not walk more than 30 minutes without feeling pain (on a good day). I am on daily medication to help with the pain

Help interpreting results & likelihood of diagnosis if I saw a private practitioner.
Good afternoon, I’m at my wit’s end and would very much appreciate help interpreting recent blood tests and symptoms. I previously posted a few weeks back with details of private tests carried out with Monitor my Health on 24/1/23. They were as follows: TSH 4.74 mu/L (0.27 - 4.2) FT4 13.9 pmol/
