Egg Quality
God I feel old today! I had my consultation with my clinic regarding my latest negative test & she pretty much said it's simply the egg quality because of age. I'm 39 next month with an AMH of 8.5. Both cycles I've been getting around 3 or 4 mature eggs. Only 1 blast each round. I have 2 more rounds

Has anyone worked with Functional Thyroid Care?
My GP has withdrawn my 25mcg Levothyroxine he only just prescribed about a month ago on a trial basis because my TSH is fine. The only way I was able to persuade him to let me try 25mcg was I took him printouts from all the thyroid forums I am on and he also is aware that I have been complaining about

Have I cardiac haemolytic anaemia or haven't I?
I have been borderline anaemic for some years and it seems that my TAVI a year ago and the consequent medication may have pushed me over the threshold. On May 31 a haematologist wrote to my GP following tests on
March 5
to say that "it is likely [that I have] cardiac haemolytic anaemia". But

Hello!
Hey folks, Not entirely sure where to start here, first post. - I recently had a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) due to some on-going issues which were identified as gallstones. - During this, and also backed up by biopsy/blood tests it seems I have some issues going on with my liver L3 fibrosis

Calcium supplements - drawbacks
Was not prescribed calcium supplement or Vit D, taking the latter with K2 following advice from the forum. Now concerned about taking a calcium supplement given that there has been some (old) research indicating that it could be harmful to heart, kidneys and colon! Advice would be welcome. I try to ensure

Take nothing after Evenity
I finished with Evenity 3 months ago, tried Actonel and Raloxifine to hold on to the gains, both gave me bad migraine. My consultant is now suggesting I take nothing, just Vitamin D, will I hold on to the gains with just Vitamin D? I thought we had to have something to keep the gains.

UPDATE: RLS, magnesium, calcium and hard water
Hello everyone, wanted to share my experience/thoughts. I'm a 58-yo female from the UK. I've suffered from RLS for around 20 years. I've never tried any prescription meds for this (the medications all sound quite dodgy to me as they seem to lead to dependence, and don't treat the root cause, which seems

Why ?
Parkinson's is well known for a loss of manual dexterity. Why then do they keep prescribing me these vile little blue vitamin D capsules that are in a foil that is more of a launch vehicle than a storage solution and when I do get my fingers on one they are slipperier than a greased politician? Is it

Vitamin D and Magnesium
I've got low vitamin D and one of my symptoms is severe anxiety and panic attacks. Not sure if these are related. Someone suggested taking magnesium alongside vitamin D to help with the panic and anxiety. Has anyone had any luck with magnesium citrate helping with anxiety?
