Experiences with

Menopausal and perimenopausal disorders

Hi, I started HRT in February and have really felt the benefit of being on this. However I was then diagnosed with lupus in August. A few people have mentioned to me that some doctors have advised that women with lupus can't take HRT. My doctor has in fact renewed my prescription recently. I wasn't

Hi, I had a radical hysterectomy 4weeks ago and knew that I'd be straight into menopause afterwards. The hot flushes I can deal with but the difficulty sleeping I just can't. It takes me about 2hours to get to sleep and I wake up at least once in the night and can't get back to sleep again 😭 I don't

hi everybody, So I’m in my mid 40s and going through the perimenopause and really considering going on to HRT. It’s effecting my sleep, moods, and more recently gaining weight even though I’m in a calorie deficit and exercise regularly. I’m just interested to understand other females and any experience

Hi ladies. Begging some life experience… I’ve been on dienogest 6 months now, during this period my perimenopause symptoms have, well, let’s just say, escalated! Possibly nothing to do with the medication I hasten to add, they were coming on well before that. My gynae has suggested I start taking a

hi, Golfforlife...I just saw your 1 yr old post & wanted to relay my experience. I am 75 with CLL & ITP. My maternal grandmother died in her 50s of cervical cancer. When I was the right age. gardasil was not around. Now I know about it & want the immunization. My onc/ hemat said ok & so does my GP, but

Hi - I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in August after it was found accidentally during a keyhole surgery. I am 45 and had a total abdominal hysterectomy with ovary removal 2 weeks ago and am waiting to hear the pathology results for the Stage and next treatment steps. I am struggling with low mood

Folks just a quickie, does anyone know of hot and cold sweats with fibromyalgia as I am at work now but the pain is bad and I am getting hot and cold sweats

Hello, I’m looking for some opinions on my latest test results from the knowledgeable community on here. The results haven’t got any ranges listed with them, but my main question is in relation to the LH & FSH. I have looked up ranges and what I’ve found is LH is (14.2-52.3) my result is 82.8 and FSH

Looking for hope when it’s thin on the ground. It’s now been over 2.5 years of trying for a sibling every month, I am 43 with low reserve. My husbands sperm analysis is off the charts good, his DNA frag result is borderline high but at our recent urologist appointment we were told the SA results trip

https://academic.oup.com/humrep/advance-article/doi/10.1093/humrep/deae213/7774591 Hopefully the above link will work. (Sorry, I'm c*** at computers.) My menopause was all done and dusted by the age of 43. I was diagnosed with Hashi's a year later having had symptoms for a while.

As a recently diagnosed newbie, I’m eagerly awaiting the results of the phase iii trial of Exenatide (as per Obiora’s recent thread). I realise that I may be guilty of the naive optimism that comes with a recent PD diagnosis – I’ve read that veteran PWP can become very jaded and disillusioned with

Hi all , I have been on Decapeptyl injections now for 6 weeks alongside hrt ( everol 50 patches and Utrogestan 100mg continuously ) Iam currently having brown spotting and all my Endo symptoms again for the past 3 days Has anyone else had this ? Will it settle the longer iam on the injections ? Is

I had suggested this was a possible option for pts losing access to PEG. Thanks to member zvinkovic who has direct knowledge and posted: "I thought Roferon is discontinued? Because I was on Roferon and only got Pegasys because Roferon was discontinued" Here is the summary I wrote in that thread.

Hello, I’m a regular on here. Some of you know me, others probably not. Wanted some advice so I’m going to keep it simple. 1. I’m 53 with a history of endometriosis all my life. Debilitating and just absolutely rubbish for me. Like all of us on here. I’m unfortunately no different. 2. My periods

Hi all, I'm booked in for a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy next month and wondered if anyone will check my hormone levels as part of the follow up? I've been on Prostap injection for 2months now (due my 3rd this week) and have gained a stone already. I read that a surgical

Hi, I'm on my 4th month of Decapetyl injections. I'm due to be reviewed by Consultant on 23/9. I'm currently listed for ' full pelvic clearance' due to DIE. I'm 47 and have been fortunate to have X3 children. The reason for messaging is two fold.1) How many of you have had both hysterectomy and oophorectomy

Hi I am 61 years old female and definitely post menopausal. I have just received a letter following my recent endo appointment and it states that oestrogen levels were negligible and fsh was 19. I just want to check if this is normal. I thought the fsh should have been much higher. My tsh has never
