Experiences with

Restricted growth (dwarfism)

I'm very confused about what my next steps should be and I'd appreciate any advice. I feel very alone with this. 😪 SUMMARY: Basically, I had a pretty normal thyroid panel. I was put on thyroid meds as a trial treatment for life-altering symptoms I had at night - T4 plus a hefty dose of T3. I

hi, does anyone have any insight or experience with a natural modified ivf protocol? This is a cycle with low dose stimulation injections from day 7 to focus on collecting just a few eggs in hope they will be better quality. I can t find much information on this. I have had 6 cycles, short, long, luteal

Hi all, hope all are well and embracing this season of change - I LOVE autumn and cosy soup weather. I have recently turned 43 and just had our third round of IVF with PICSI - we took a break for Glastonbury to let off steam after 2 rounds, and to get (and implement) expert supplement and nutrition

Hello I’m doing my last ivf cycle , the last two rounds I couldn’t get any blast they were arresting in day 3 and 4th. So now trying the growth hormone , I would like to hear some feedback for the ones who has tried . Thanks in advance ♥️

Hi everyone, I used 225 Pergoveris in my first cycle, responded well, and had 5 mature eggs, 4 fertilised, which resulted in 3 good day 6 blasts. PGTA said they're all abnormal. I have switched to a new clinic as the doc just wanted to move me onto donor eggs. New doc (now in Greece, not Spain) uses

I did a Randox Female Hormone Test as NHS Endo refused to check Progesterone and Testosterone, and they don't believe in HRT. Until August 2022 I had been on HRT, Kliofem 2mg/ I mg , for more than 20 years. I was taken off it by my G.P. because of my age. I believe I have Pituitary Failure/ Central

Has anyone had success with this? I took it for 10 days during my last stim cycle and ended up with 15 eggs retrieved (highest number yet) but no blasts. I'm about to start another cycle and the doc has prescribed saizen again, says its optional but helps with egg quality. Im not convinced as my previous

After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what

MCAS AND MEDS MCAS strikes again I can't take tablet or liquid levothyroxine as I've had the worst histamine flare even at 25mcg. Been in bed 4 days now crashing headache, body pains, inflammation, dizziness, fatigue all from 1 tiny dose of 25mcg liquid levothyroxine. What can I do ? I desperately

Hello good people, The only available human growth hormone in my country is Genotropin by Pfizer. Has anyone ever used it as a HGH to improve egg quality in IVF?

Hoping to get people's thoughts about my new IVF protocol as there are a lot of changes... Background: Have done 5 rounds of IVF (3 for banking embryos, 2 with fresh transfers) all with poor results. -->Embryo banking cycles (one clinic): -January 2023 (menopur 150, gonal F 150); 13 eggs, 6 mature

Hello lovely people. I’m sorry for this long message but I wondered if anyone has an experience of IUI after IVF. I’m 43, no underlying factors, no MFI etc. we have done 5 cycles (high dose stims) producing 8-12 eggs each cycle, good fertilization and 1-4 embryos each cycle. Unfortunately all our

Carnivore Diet: More recently, there are Harvard scientists strongly advocating the "Carnivore Diet" as a "therapeutic diet" against cancer. But how can it make [i]sense[/i] for the condition when it has a long-standing history of research supporting findings that there are multiple

Questions- poor egg quality, growth hormone, day 3 transfer, and PGT testing. Sorry for the long post but hoping for some advice/encouragement. After 1 year of infertility and 2 failed IUIs, I started banking embryos at age 32 (I'm in medical training and was worried about getting pregnant before my

I don't know what's wrong with me. Let me try to make it simple. I always want to do something badly and very intensely. I'm just unable to make myself do that work. You can call it laziness, you can call it anything, carelessness, but I'm very sure it is not that. To give you an example, I'm going through

Hello! I had an abdominal ultrasound today including my liver due to a recent blood test showing very high on all the liver tests… my GP is suspecting Non-alcoholic fatty liver… I know I have to wait for the ultrasound report to come back, but the radiologist who did the scan said that my liver was

I haven't read it yet, but thought this looks interesting. A Medscape article titled 'A 'One-Stop Shop': New Guidance on Hormones and Aging' stated: 'A new statement from The Endocrine Society on hormones and aging highlights the differences between normal aging and disease, and when treatment is

Engaging in fitness activities is considered a standard of care (SOC) for many cancer patients, not only because it enhances overall health but also due to the chemical interactions between muscles and cancer cells.

Hi We are about to embark on our 3rd embryo cycle and have a decision to make regarding using the growth hormone Zomacton. I turn 42 this week and have a low reserve. I was recommended using 3 does of it in our last (second) cycle but we saw no real addition benefit. 4 eggs collected each cycle resulting

I have pituitary failure and it's taken me almost 20years to get myself sorted. I take T3 in the form of Cytomel which is reluctantly prescribed by my local Endo but beyond that they are totally useless. I now see a specialist in Leicester who has got a better idea and I now have hydrocortisone, growth
