Period after pessaries
So I've completely confused myself with dates. My last period was due on 13th Feb but it was delayed due to the progesterone pessaries. My bleed started on 17th Feb - I based my next period date (25 day cycle) on that. Is that correct? So instead of 9th March it'll be due 13th March? I'm only concerned

No Osteoporosis with Estrogen Patch Therapy
These plots compare results from the Phase-II randomized trial (PATCH) comparing estrogen patch therapy to Lupron ADT. These plots show that Lupron ADT causes bone loss, while estrogen patch therapy has either no bone loss or increased bone mineral density (BMD) over time. Bob

Castration by Estrogen Patch
This plot shows a dramatic decrease in testosterone and PSA after starting estrogen patch therapy, indicating that transdermal estrogen (TDE) therapy effectively castrates men, and with fewer side effects than Lupron ADT.

Transdermal estrogen/estradiol as monotherapy for Prostate Cancer
Does anyone know of recent studies, clinical trials or Standard of Care (SoC) protocols using or studying estrogen gels, sprays, ointments or patches as hormone therapy for Prostate Cancer, particularly micrometastatic cancer that has not spread beyond the pelvic region? I am in discussions with my

Zoladex and flu like symptoms
Hey. This may sound strange but does anyone suffer with flu like symptoms with the Zoladex? For the past 6 months I’ve had a number of ‘colds’ which seem to go straight to my sinuses but I have nothing else apart from feeling bunged up and absolutely no energy and achy. Just wondering if it could be

Estrogen Priming - Cycle 2
For my second cycle my consultant has suggested doing 7 days worth of Estrogen priming before i start my stims - apparently it helps to encourage follicles to grow at a steady rate together rather than some firing ahead. Has anyone had experience of this, did it help? TIA xx

Failed implantation - what tests should I get to investigate and is the NHS likely to take them into consideration?
Hi, I was lucky enough to get NHS funding for IVF. Had one FET so far and it failed to implant. If I wanted to get tests in private to investigate implantation failure, which ones should I get, and are NHS consultants likely to take them into consideration or am I wasting money?I have a positive test

TBG result... new to me
I've not seen this tested before but I'm interpreting it to show I have the balance of oestrogen and thyroid hormones about right... 😏🤷♀️

Oestrogen levels and inflammation triggering/ exacerbating PMR?
Does anyone have knowledge/ experience correlating oestrogen levels with PMR? Can it be a trigger, and exacerbate symptoms? I have read that inflammation increases during menopause. Is it worth having my hormones tested? I'm about 2 years into menopause.

Anyone about to start a frozen transfer?

Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering

I’m looking for further guidance, does anyone know how long you take meds for in preparation for a FET? I have all the meds required for stimulation prior to egg retrieval… But, my clinic hasn’t informed me how long I’ll be taking medication after that to prepare my FET. Would I be required

Is this thyroid?
hi there, I have been struggling with what I thought was Peri menopause/menopause symptoms for a while (dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog, dry eyes, fatigue etc) Last year these symptoms got progressively worse with pain under left arm in lymph node and weakness to the point I felt like collapsing

Advice for estrogen vaginal cream
I've been using Estradiol (vaginal estrogen cream) for about a year or so. I've always used the applicator to apply the cream but I'm wondering if I can just smear the cream on with my finger. How many of you ladies apply the cream with your finger? I'm afraid if I don't use the applicator and don't
