Parenteral estrogens as first-line (mono)therapy?
I know high-dose oral DES had lots of problems and fell out of favor decades ago, mainly because of oral delivery and too-high dosing. What about the use of transdermal estrogen? I have heard about patches used by men who have already undergone prior ADT, as second line therapy or for QoL improvement

Update on my sister
Many thanks to all of you who responded last time I posted a few days ago. My sister has had the results of her biopsy back and her cancer is progesterone and oestrogen positive and her2 negative. Could someone let me know what that means in terms of her treatment going forward. Last time she had BC

After treatment of Lutitium
Hi My husband has metastatic PC. We hv been treated with the anti androgens, until the PSA started to rise again then the chemo, but after 3 treatments the PSA was only rising. Then we tried immunotherapy didn't work for us. Then estrogen which was a disaster for my husband. And then we knew about lutitium

History repeating
What a nightmare! So despite having started on 8mg oestrogen, higher than normal 6mg I’m only measuring at 7.2 at the thickest point. Upped to 10mg for 3 days. Transfer delayed. This is like my first FET. Makes me all nervous. Fingers crossed for Thursday’s repeat scan🤞🏻

When to stop taking progestrone?
I am 7+3 today and I'm wondering when I should stop taking progestrone. I'm on a lot of medication. I'm taking - 1) 2 vaginal pessaries daily (morning and night) 2) 2 lubiin daily (morning and night) 3) 1 lentogest (intramuscluar injection every third day) 4) 1 fragmin injection daily (evenings) 5)

Cortisol and HRT
I’ve just received the results 9AM Cortisol blood test. 389 (150-500). My Endo is happy with the results, no further investigations. She admitted that I look very ill and shaky and in her opinion it is because my TSH is supressed. I am also on HRT for my horrid sweats end hot flashes. I need 6 pumps

When to start Estrogen after Bueserilin?
I have been taking Bueserilin since CD21 and just got my period today. If the progynova/estrogen is to thicken the lining, when do you start it? I would think there would need to be a good bleed before starting the estrogen and yet my clinic says to start today, (CD1)? My lining was 11 last transfer

Anyone thought about using estriol instead of estradiol?
Has anyone considered using estriol cream instead of estradiol? A summary as to why it looks interesting: Estriol agonizes ER-beta (ESR2) more than ER-alpha [1]. ER-beta agonism is associated with anti-proliferative effects in a variety of cancers [2]. Estradiol agonizes both about the same [1]. The

Bone Strengthening
What does everybody take/use for a bone strengthened? Do all of you take calcium? I was given one IV of Zometa but I didn’t receive anymore as it cause my blood calcium levels to drop extremely low. When I asked my oncologist what I should be taking to increase my bone strength he said he wasn’t up

Brevinor or Norimin?
Ladies has anyone tried Brevinor or Norimin combined pill please? I have been on Loestrin 30 for many years with no issues but it's now been discontinued unfortunately. Looking for similar low estrogen pill as Microgynon made me feel awful when I tried that before so don't want it again. Thanks.

Has anyone had an endometrial ablation and it caused low estrogen? What did you experience? I had one a few months ago and I haven’t felt right since, I got an infection which I called my doctor 3 times about and ended up in the ER, I’ve been experiencing severe mood swings, hot flashes, bouts of crying

They are saying things are happening slower than expected and they might cancel this cycle. My

Baseline scan 👌
On baseline everything is turned off and my lining is non existent. Bit concerned they hadn’t read previous notes on my lining with 6mg of oestrogen, on day 10 I’d only reached 5.5mm in 08/18. So the doctor doubled the dose to 12mg in an attempt to get me to the correct thickness. Another doctor was
