Experiences with Lo-Estrin 20 vs Mercilon
Just wondering if anyone has tried Lo-Estrin 20 or Mercilon (both combined pills with low oestrogen)? Over the past year and a half I’ve been experimenting with different treatments to see what works for me. I tried the Mirena coil (which didn’t agree with me at all), I tried purely herbal/natural remedies

MEMORY LOSS, WAS IT CAUSED BY THE ESTROGEN PATCHES
Following a positive biopsy indicating that I had prostate cancer (3+4) in late 2013, I began a long ADT treatment protocol that included a combination of Lupron, Casodex, Avodart, Xgeva and Metformin until Februaru 2015. I then switched from Lupron to Estrogen Patches and continued the Avodart and Metformin

Cycle estrogen and casodex/dutasteride
I have been on estrogen patches to lower testosterone. Very effective. Undetectable T and PSAs are 0. No depression. But zero libido, loss of strength, and lower RBC (I think that 0 T is going to cause those regardless of how you get there). So I am going on a combo of casodex and dutasteride. Casodex

Endometriosis and combined pill
Hi all. I just wanted to check whether it is ok to be prescribed the combined pill when we have been diagnosed with endo? I am a bit perplexed as I would have thought that we should avoid adding more oestrogen in our body? Thank you.

Using estrogen and progesterone cyclically or continuously...interested in other people's experiences!
So, I wanted to know if anyone here has gone from using E and P cyclically to using them continuously, and what difference that has made (if any). I'm asking because I emailed my hormone doctor a few months ago to tell her my periods seemed to have stopped (right after I turned 50 in December), and ask

I apologize to the estrogen gender for some of my judgements and thoughts in my lifetime up to now.

I sat there stupidly staring at the TV through at least 5 minutes of commercials - bottom of the hour - tears running down my face. "What's wrong?" she asked me. "Nothing" I mumbled.

Estradiol - side effects & weight gain?
I was wondering if anyone gets any side effects from the estrogen tablets? I am on double dose plus estrogen patches and I always seem to get palpitations, a blurry head/ headaches & a slight shortness of breath when I take them as well as feeling sickly unless it is just a coincidence? Also I am convinced

Best treatment for Osteoporosis in the hips.
have been told that Prolia (denosumab) is less effective for reducing hip fractures and increases infection risks. Can Prolia increase bone density in the hips (i.e. Femur neck left and femur neck right) and reduce the risk of hip fracture after a fall or should my mother go for Reclast / Aclasta (zolendronic

low estrogen causing uti's continually
I have low estrogen causing uti's continually. My problem is that the local vaginal estrogens (3 different kinds so far) cause unbearable side affects. I feel I'm allergic or sensitive to the other chemical ingredients. I'm very sensitive to drugs. What on earth can I do. Down there needs estrogen to

Xtandi (enzalutamide) hacks
I've been on enzalutamide a little over a year now. It does the trick. My PSA has been undetectable until recently - and that's on two pills a day. I started out with four but needed my brain to earn a living (I'm an engineer). I'm a fitness guy. I road bike, mountain bike, or lift weights in the gym

Fluid in uterus
Hi ladies, Has anyone had any fluid in the uterus issues. I am currently on 4th cycle ivf. Had a laparoscopy to remove swollen fallopian tubes due to fluid in both. I am now on a monitoring cycle and have been on estrogen tablets. Since then, this fluid has returned. So cant proceed with any embryo transfer

PBC and oral estrogen (estrace or premarin)
What is known about the effects of oral estrogen on the liver? Does oral HRT (hormone replacement therapy) cause liver inflammation that may lead to PBC? Thank you.

Progesterone treatment for endo
I started medroxyprogesterone a month ago 10mg / 3 times a day to treat endo which may have progressed since my lap Sep 2017 since my symptoms have been getting worse. I started with abdo pain about 16 days ago and started bleeding 12 days ago (which hasn't stopped) and pretty much constant cramps/stabbing

Clonidine
Hi lovely ladies, I've been prescribed Clonidine by the nurse practitioner, it's to help with my night time hot flushes and lack of sleep due to this. I did check with her whether it would be OK with my tamoxifen and the answer was yes it's fine. However, this morning I woke up in a bit of a panic as

Menopausal women in the UK facing severe HRT shortage
There are several reasons for posting. a) We have quite a number of members on HRT; b) It highlights the lack of information about medicine shortages which affects HRT, thyroid and, probably, every other area of medicine; c) Hopefully it raises awareness among those who might be affected. It is not

Anyone else in my position or similar? 38.1st failed ICSI attempt. Never been a mum before.
Finding it tough to find anyone in my situation. I know I've posted LOADS but I find this site such tremendous support. I feel so out of my depth with ivf and I'm a bit of a novice by all accounts. I'm 38, naturally high AMH with no underlying issues. Most of the stories I see on here are low AMH, PCOS
