2 Tapers or NOT 2 Tapers......
Hi again everyone - hope you can help. Forgot to mention yesterday whilst visiting my GP she informed me of the latest findings re taking HRT - the risk factors have increased. I had a total hysterectomy 20 years ago and take 1mg of Oestrogen daily since which I am happy to do. However she has now advised

Menopause HRT on levothyroxine ? Can anyone share experiences and contra indications ?
Is anyone on here on HRT along with taking Levothyroxine ? I’ve just read an article about oestrogen and how supplementing with it via HRT can cause more harm than good. If you have Hashimotos apparently our liver can’t get rid of oestrogen so it is secreted into our skin and organs and can cause damage

IVF and diabetes
So I don't know if this will help anyone here, but having been through a few IVF rounds with a few different clinics I thought I'd share what I learned. 1. IVF doctors know pretty much NOTHING about diabetes. Your GP can tell you that your blood sugar levels are perfect but unless they're in normal (

Endocrinology
Hi everyone, after a 6 month wait, I finally got my appointment for endocrinology. Saw a nurse practitioner not a doctor. Not that I’m not complaining about that (I’m a nurse myself) My GP increased my levothyoxine 6 months ago from 75mcg to 100mcg (was on 75 for 20 years) at my insistence due to symptoms

A Little Help Please...
Hi folks, I hope you can help. I was finally diagnosed with severe endometriosis last Thursday, following a laparoscopy. Also had to have 1 ovary removed and had ablation of the womb lining as consultant originally thought that would resolve the heavy painful periods. I didn’t think I was doing too

Are estrogen patches safe?
I would like to try it estrogen patches for a period of 3 months and see how my psa does. I have a few questions please on this subject : 1) is it safe? 2) does it give a false reading in terms of slowing the psa but the cancer itself is growing? 3) why Medical Oncologists DONT like to prescribe it?

Soy isoflavones and thyroid disease (Hashimoto's)
For the past six months, I've been suffering from low mood and mood swings that I put down to menopause (I'm 50). I was put on estrogel and Utrogestan and felt somewhat better but not optimal. A friend of mine who did not get 100% improvement with HRT tried Menopause support by A. Vogel and it has worked

Successful taper and hormones.
I am now on 3.25/2.5 every second day, so pleased that this low dose works for me. I have had pain in a hip and a shoulder since april and extra heartbeats since start of september. Low energy and quite a lot of anxiety in addition to that. I have had my cortisole measured and that was good, all other

What exactly IS Normal???? I have NO idea!!!
*Sighs* No such thing as "NORMAL" for me... I was born without a thyroid gland, which was discovered when I was 4 months old.. This occured because when my mother was pregnant with me, they were giving her thyroid supplements... the consensus was that She over compensated and I didn't develop a Thyroid

Estrogel and fat thighs!
Hi Guys, just wanted to know if anybody else has the same problem with Estrogel. I went on it about 4 years ago and noticed a gradual weight gain in my thighs, bum and stomach, then about 5 months ago I noticed lumpy fat deposits on my thighs (which look awful), I couldn't understand why this was happening

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) & Diabetes.
A wide and varied range of substances are thought to cause endocrine disruption. Chemicals that are known endocrine disruptors include diethylstilbestrol (the synthetic estrogen DES), dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT, and some other pesticides. Exposure to endocrine

Elevated Oestradiol
I’ve been suffering from frequent heavy periods and constant spotting for over a year. Around a year ago I had some blood tests and a pelvic scan - pelvic scan clear but my bloods showed my oestradiol to be elevated at 600 ( top of range 400). My problem has continued, I’m covered in acne and irritable

Medical Oncologist in Southern New England
In an unrelated post recently, I learned of my aPC ignorance or naivety in not having a Medical Oncologist oversee my treatment. I’m post ERT and completed my original 18mo ADT and am currently being monitored by both my Uro and RO. I don’t see surgery or radiation in my foreseeable future prompting

OTD tomorrow
So I'm due to test tomorrow and starting to get the usual nerves because it's nice still thinking there's a slim chance I am actually pregnant. I stupidly caved and did an early test on 6dp5dt which was negative and felt so gutted. Weirdly after that I felt more relaxed because I'd almost accepted it

Hormones - update
I posted last month about trying the pill to try to regulate my cycle and reduce my flares. Although I knew there was a good chance it might not work I thought I'd give it a go after chatting to the GP. The GP felt that as long as do not have the markers for sticky blood it should not be a problem to
