Hi everyone, I did a cortisol blood test 11th Nov and the result was: 284 (166-507) According to NICE guidelines, this fits into the ‘’test again” bracket.

Hi, I'm a 28 year old woman from Germany. I've had IBS since 16, never received any effective help (not for lack of trying on my part) so I've subsisted on an extremly limited diet for the past decade.

Hi ladies I'm struggling. I had my op almost exactly a year ago and chemo finished in June. Scan showed NED, but was soooo tired (and bloated, with pelvic pains that have now stopped) that come October I was given another scan, NED again. However, I am so tired I cannot function.

Does anyone here have a 2 day period and gone on to have a successful ivf pregnancy? Was it a medicated or natural transfer?

Hello, Just got my bloods redone for my 3 month review and was so happy to see my t3 was optimal for the first time, yet the rest of the panel has got worse! I was confused how the t4 was low if I needed it to get a good t3? If anyone could explain how this is possible I’d appreciate it. I was sad
