Protein in my urine
Hi there! I am 6 months post kidney transplant. First I'd like to say that I was very blessed, I was approved and put on the list May 3, 2023 and I received my new kidney from a perfect match deceased donor June 13, 2023. My transplant team said that is very rare and very lucky. I have had some challenges

However the pains have started again and after a scan have found a 3cm cyst in my right and 2 smaller on left ovary. I've been sent for blood test to also see if I have PCOS. They've

At home pregnancy blood test BFP
Hello, Our clinic ask us to do an at home blood test three days after OTD urine test. Urine test came back positive. We are used to getting to this stage. The last two FET our blood test didn’t show a very strong line. Implantation failure/chemical at 6-7 weeks both times. Fresh transfer this time

Next step in solving the mystery of my burning feet, but need a little bit of advice
Hi all I’m in need of some more advice. As suggested, I’ve tried raising my vitamin levels since Nov 2023 and although not perfect, they’ve gone up. I’m still having burning in my feet so decided to go to a consultant. Below are my most recent bloods. 7th Feb 2024 Medichecks Blood tests

Thyroglobulin antibodies test
I tested for thyroid markers recently.I was already diagnosed last summer with hypothyroidism and am medicated with Levothyroxine, so the values of TSH T4 are now in the control range with T3 low borderline. However, anti Tg came positive at 570IU/ml which I understands suggests autoimmune underlying

Ferritin and Iron
I found some information below about Ferritin and Iron - it is from the Dr Mercola website. I have just had my ferritin levels and iron levels checked - The Doctor said they were a bit on the low side so I am taking some gentle iron. My ferritin was 50.9 - I never heard of ferritin before having RLS

folate dropping
I have been injecting since July 2023, thanks to you all, I knew to check my ferritin when I felt something else was off…since no doctor thought it necessary. It was 14. Now I am on iron supplements. My folate has always been >24. However, since starting the iron, my folate has dropped to 15 (still

Latest results, I’m a bit confused
Fresh in today, and I’m amazed at the B12 result! My B12 has been steadily dropping, the last test in March last year showed total B12 at 271 range 145-569, this result is >150 for active B12, there isn’t a result for total but I’m not sure why it’s missing. Can anyone enlighten me? My CRP has shot up

How to approach GP to get private endocrinologist referral?

Reassurance about taking T3 during pregnancy
Hi All I’m just looking for some reassurance if anyone else has continued on T3 during pregnancy. When I tested positive my ft4 was 17.5 (12-22) but my ft3 tanked from 4.4 to 3.1(3.1-6.8) and all my hypo symptoms were terrible. (Previous ft4 was17.1 and ft3 4.4 so I was still probably under medicated

When is 5.6 not 5.6
For as long as I can remember my FT3 has been 5.6 with a consistent dose of 2 grains of Thyroid S and a consistent range of (3.4 - 6.8). 18 months ago I moved to another part of the country where the FT3 range is (2.5 - 5.5). Technically my FT3 is now over range although no one seems to be too worried

need support *sensitive* I had my test day today and it came back negative but then bloods has come back positive? Anyone relate?
well what a whirlwind of a day!! So took my urine test today this morning showed only one line so negative, so went in for my bloods and they have come back as a positive pregnancy? So obviously I’m ecstatic as I thought negative (so sure you can imagine) then now being told that was a false negative

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid
