Menses, Mtx and Menopause..…
Hello women! I have finally got around to watching the two Davina McCall Menopause documentaries on All4.. I urge you to watch these if you haven’t seen them yet. Anyway. This is a bit of a weird one… I started taking Mtx 12 years ago at 42. My periods stopped immediately. I had a few ‘hot flushes

Vaginal oestrogen and gyno (man boobs) on husband
I'd just like to share my story about vaginal oestrogen. Before I started patch HRT, I decided to try vaginal oestrogen first to see if that would help with painful intercourse due vaginal atrophy brought on by the menopause. My (younger) husband is a health and fitness person who is super toned

Endo and HRT
I have not yet been diagnosed with endo but pretty sure I have it. I'm perimenopausal and my question is has anybody with endo successfully taken HRT? I feel I really need now due to menopause symptoms being so bad but worried about the oestrogen side making things worse. TIA

Utrogestan and endometriosis
Hi I take Utrogestan 100mgs per day and added the Oestrogel but the endo (I have 2 endometriomas in the one ovary they left behind after total hysterectomy in 2019) was flaring up and my IBS was getting out of hand (wind) so do I increase it to 200mgs?? Does anyone know??

Test Result Advice
Hello all! Just got these bloodwork numbers back and could use some kind advice please. I used to take Armour Thyroid after a diagnosis of hypothyroid, then later Thiroyd from Thailand, and then only OTC glandular. I finally found a "functional med" doctor who put me on 15mg NP Thyroid after a test

11dp6dt OTD: BFN
Hi all just a quick update, I managed to hold out testing until this morning. Since 7dp ET I knew I hadn’t made it happen. Ladies with Endo know that pain all too well don’t we? I’ve had zero bleeding in comparison to my first round, but I’m on a ton of progesterone and estrogen that’ll be it right?

ERA test and hormone bloods
Hi I am due to have an ERA test and just took a final look at my clinic notes which say "you may be asked to have a hormone blood test a few days before the procedure to see how you are absorbing the medication". I am on estrogen tablets and patches, and also two forms of progesterone in the form

First FET - what grade embryo?
Hi all We’re due to begin our first FET next month. We have 5 embryos frozen. Some average, some good quality. In our initial consultation I asked what grade embryo would be transferred, worst or best. We were told the best will be transferred first. We’re grateful to be in this position, however

Issues with new packaging of Besins Oestrogel?
Besins Oestrogel has a new bottle. Might be a coincidence but since using it my sleep has gotten worse. I’m getting more tingling and numbness in my fingers and toes. Concentration is worse. Also increased issues down below. I don’t know if it’s the concentration of oestradiol being dispensed or maybe

Is it normal after receiving two firmagon shots in the abdomen for the injection areas to be hard?
Well good news bad news. I qualified for a cutting edge trial at Yale, unfortunately they won’t let me do it until I’m back on a SOC ADT drug for two months. I bit the bullet because I’m allowed to stay on the estrogen gel to control the hot flashes. I had my first firmagon shots Tuesday. Two needles

Hi All - Gynecomastia
Hi everyone, so a bit of background from me. 40 year old male, always been a social drinker until covid hit then I started drinking a bit more. Just before covid in 2019 I went to the docs as I generally felt rubbish, tired and some abdominal pain and had full blood panels inc LFTs and all was clear.

HRT issues - Plus need to hear about experiences with testosterone
I've been on continuous HRT - Utrogestan 100mg, 2 pumps of oestrogel daily and 1 vagirux tablet twice weekly since October 2022. I'm 45. I recently switched from oral to vaginal utrogestan due to depressed mood but that definitely doesn't suit me so I switched back after 11 days. I started to experience

lap recovery time
hi everyone , I’ve got a date for my first lap. Just wondering what the average recovery time is, I get it’s very dependent on what is found etc. To be honest my symptoms have been so much better as I’ve been taking a cocktail of herbal remedies that have been amazing for the pain so I doubt they will

does Ibrance cause gastritis? FODMAP diet helps diarrhea from Ibrance.
I have estrogen positive MBC since 2018 and on Ibrance and Faslodex since that time. I have been in remission for 18 months. one year ago I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which showed severe stomach inflammation. My symptoms were persistent nausea and frequent diarrhea. I took a course of proton pump

Estrogen Receptors
New study below [1]. At the time I was diagnosed (2004), there was enough research on the 'new' estrogen receptor [ERbeta], to cause concern. At diagnosis, ERbeta has generally become downregulated. In contrast, ERalpha, which is otherwise restricted to stromal cells, starts to appear in PCa (epithelial

Hopefully On The Right Course
I have dealt with hypothyroidism and surgical menopause for several years. I did really well on oral estrogen and later put on levothyroxine when diagnosed with hypothyroidism and continued to do well until I didn't. Long story short I have seen several conventional and functional medical doctors for
