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.

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?

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 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.

I've just had these through today. I increased Levo 50% from 25mcg - 37.5mcg at the end of Dec 24 but my FT4 is still the same. I also take 20mcg T3 per day. Should increase the Levothyroxine to 50mcg per day and then retest. Or does it matter given that my FT3 is 70% through the range, which it

Looking for advice, any help / steers will be most gratefully received. Health wise, I've had a rough few month’s with new symptoms creeping in that may or may not be hypothyroid related?! My current Liothyronine dosage is 20 morning (circa 0630), 20 lunchtime (1200) and 10 early evening (1700).

Hi,I've been pointed to the PAS forum by the good members of the HU thyroid community. I'm a 42 year old male and have struggled with hashimotos hypothyroidism since 2018, with the last 2 1/2 years been very challenging. I'm sure you all know that the symptoms of being hypo and low B12/PA all cross

Hi I've been getting quite bad dizziness and light headed spells the last 2 days, from what I read this is due to low cortisol/poor adrenal function. Does anyone know what can be done to help? I took pregnenolone and Adrenavive twice a day over the Christmas and NY period to see if it would help with

Hi all, recently joined the group and this is my first post. I’ve read a few bio’s and posts and can see there are some super knowledgeable and very helpful people on this forum. Perhaps there is someone out there who can add another piece to my puzzle. 🙏 Brief History: diagnosed Hypo in 2015.

Hello all. I hope you're all well. I came across Cortigenix recently, they test cortisol levels over a 3 month period using a hair sample. I had my results today and it's came back as my cortisol levels are moderately low. I'm reluctant to discuss this with my GP after all the fobbing off I've had

Hi All, My recent saliva cortisol/DHEA results have returned - Smart Nutrition/Geneva labs came back after 10 working days. I have elevated cortisol and a blunted CAR. I’m not really sure what that all means but my theory of having low cortisol has gone out of the window! All of my symptoms (except

Hi All, As newly diagnosed hypo, I’ve just started levo and very very slowly starting to pick up a little. In the meantime I’ve been investigating my adrenals & cortisol as I had a rapid decline in health following a majorly stressful event so want to check the connection. I have just done the Geneva

Anyone who has not lived in a cave for the last 3 years or so will have heard of ChatGPT. With a spare moment, I have just given it a whirl for the first time and safe to say mind blown. I asked it first what the best treatment for hypothyroidism is and got a well written easy to read summary of T4
