Bank Holiday fun (not!)
Evening all, hope those of you in the UK have had a good bank holiday weekend. Mine could have been better… I ended up in A&E on Saturday night with a racing heart (at times around 150bpm) after none of the tricks I’d read about would bring it down below 100. And when they tested my blood pressure

Dundee ivf help
Hi all I have been to my first appointment at Dundee ACU today and had a baseline scan and amh bloods taken for ivf. I am self funding with donor sperm. Just wondered if anyone can share their Dundee journey with me and let me know how long after this appointment did it take to start treatment? Private

secondary infertility deciding when to stop
So I’m very lucky to already have the most wonderful child ! We’ve been trying to have another baby for over 2 years. I’ve had failed IUIs and then did a round of IVF where I had x4 embryos at day five which I was told were all ‘good’. Anyway none of them stuck x3 negatives and I had x1 chemical pregnancy

looking for alternative to LDN
Hi, My husband has taken LDN successfully for over 6 months but is now working in a country where it’s not prescribed and he isn’t permitted to take it in with him. I’ve been looking at supplements like lion’s mane etc and wondered if anyone here has any positive experiences? His TSH etc is checked

First time poster overwhelmed with symptoms and considering self-medicating with bovine adrenals & NDT. Asking for advice & recommendations
TLDR: First time poster diagnosed Hashimotos and POI, investigating IBS which is potentially also autoimmune cause. Fatigue, depression and anxiety are ruining my life. Low Adrenal Index Test results so considering self-medicating with Bovine Adrenals. High TSH and anti thyroid antibodies, but low-end-of-normal

STILL can't find my dose
Last time I posted, I was going up to 225mcg, when at 200mcg my tsh was already 0.04 and FT4 17(9-19). Biggest mistake I ever made. I ended up feeling worse than ever before on 225mcg after about 4 weeks on it. The most SEVERE bedridden fatigue one could experience and the worst brain fog ever. No

Finally! My Thyroid Disease is Treated Optimally! :)
I just thought I would post my experience, prompted by my reply to a previous poster, who asked what they could realistically expect from optimal treatment. I think its helpful to see those that are happy on medication and their journey. I have been taking 75mcg of levo and 20mcg of lio daily for about
