Experiences with

Levest

I’m 41 and pill that has been recommended is Levest or Rigevidon. I don’t know whether to give my body more time or take the pill. Has anyone else experienced anything similar or got any advice? Thank you.

Since my diagnosis I cannot get settled and I have tried the Mirena Coil, Depo, and then got thrown on Levest/Millinette by my GP. I am not having a great time on the combined pill, hence the debate of gong back on Progesterone Only.

I went to GP about this and they suggest I take 2x desogestrol as well as my normal pill (levest) for two weeks to help the bleeding. This feels very severe and a lot of hormones? has anyone else been in a similar position and how have you stopped your breakthrough bleeding?

I was diagnosed with endometriosis many moons ago and they put me on the pill levest. Fast forward to 2022 and I started getting new pains, after a long battle the Doctors in April 2023 diagnosed me stage 4 endometriosis, it has spread to my bowels along with many other places.

hi I’m new here and struggling with getting my doctor to refer me to endocrinology. Had private blood tests which showed low cortisol and low t3 and t4 but normal tsh. NHS then further tested cortisol and tsh - with no further action required (cortisol borderline at 175nmol/L. Symptoms are fatigue, nausea

I was on Lupron and Abiraterone + Pred for 2 years. I completed both in early June, so I am now 5+months post-ADT. My T is only now starting to return (was 32 last week). However, my cortisol levels are still very low. I suspect this is the cause of sore joints that I have experienced since ending

These came through today. Tests were Thursday 7/11. 8.30am. Water only before test. T4 taken 23 hours before and T3 taken 15 hours before test. I take 25mcg T4 Levo and 2 x 10mcg liothyronine per day. I have an intolerance to Levo. First dose was 100mcg and I had suspected heart attack - ischaemic

Hi, I will keep this short and sweet, but despite having access to T3 and following all the protocols and advice given on here I still remain unwell. I do believe I am suffering from low cortisol. I am looking to take on a new book to do some deeper investigation into why I am having so much of

I’ve not been fine for a good few months. I’ve got other conditions but I’ve been progressively getting worse and have maintained I think it’s my thyroid. I’ve got hashimotos and have been off levo since 2022. My endo sucks, he falsified to my GP when they requested guidance (after he discharged me

So I've been working on my low cortisol for the last year and these are the first results without any supplementing for 6 weeks... would suggest my adrenals are rallying Things are moving in the right direction, though it still dips afternoon and evening, I have been doing an awful lot more activities

Hi All these were my blood test results 3 months ago. Ferritin 13 Serum iron 17 range 10-30 Serum transferrin 3 range 2.0-4.0 Transferrin saturation 22.6% range 20-50.

I am coming down from 3mg to 2.5mg slowly over 7 weeks and have felt anxious on several days. I feel as if my heart is beating faster and can feel nauseous with it. I have read that this may be down to my cortisol levels at this stage. I don't have any of the other symptoms of low cortisol. I do have

Can anyone relate? I have found levo sky rockets my prolactin, SHBG and makes my testosterone abnormally low. these levels always normalise in the months after stopping levo and always worsen the higher the dose. I have also found levo is causing severe episodes of hypoglycaemia (blood sugars after

Hi All. Just had bloods done after being on prendisolone for 9 weeks, CRP 13mg/L (range less than 5.0) result classed as "NORMAL". CRP Was 19 in June. 8 in July "ABNORMAL" Serum Cortisol Level 197nmol/L no range given is this low? Serum creatine level 30 U/L (25.0-200.0) HBA1C 48, it was 43 in

This is my first real post on this forum. I'd appreciate if experienced members could take a look at my labs and history and let me know what they think. I'm a 46-year-old male from Canada but living in France for the past 10 years. I've had deteriorating health issues for close to 5 years (likely longer

I was put on 2 grains of armour by a private thyroid doc, at that point I was feeling ok-ish on 50 Levo and 6 t3. I took 2 grains for 3.5 weeks and started to decrease as I was feeling rapidly and increasingly unwell. I also have a low cortisol output all day and this may have contributed to feeling

hello, I’ve repeatedly had lowish 9am cortisol (around 250ish mark) but passed SST. However, private endo has said he wants to trial a low dose of hydrocortisone to see if it helps my symptoms of chronic fatigue, headaches, muscle aches etc. etc. I’m nervous to trial a steroid when I don’t have Addison

Afternoon all. Got these results back this afternoon - the notes provided not very helpful as just say everything looks fine, no need to worry as morning and bedtime levels all good. 😏 What does <1.5 mean given all three apart from waking are at this level? Do I have low cortisol levels? Getting all
