Menopause: how to know if your symptoms are thyroid-related or not?
It's been six weeks since my last period and no signs of it coming back. My gynaecologist prescribed Femoston 2/10 for me, saying that oral hormones are better absorbed by the body than transdermal estrogen (I was on Estrogel until recently). It's only my fifth day on Femoston, and I've read that it

Does DHEA balance your hormones? Have you used DHEA? Has anyone had a NHS test for DHEA levels?
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and mild Hypothyroidism, started on 25mcg and now on 75mcg Levothyroxine, at the same time a gynaecologist discovered I had a fairly big fibroid and my iron level was low. I had a partial hysterectomy (uterus only taken out) 5 years ago. Had no HRT at that time because

HRT questions
I'd like to hear from those of you who successfully used HRT (synthetic or natural), those who did and did not like it (for whatever reason), and those who never tried it for whatever reason: I've been trying lately to figure out if, when, and how to use HRT...it's often said that you should talk to

Synthetic HRT?
My gynaecologist suggested we try Femoston 2/10 for hot flushes. Has anyone tried this or a similar drug? For the past few years, I've been on Oestrogel and Utrogestan prescribed by Hertoghe doctor, but the hot flushes have been getting worse lately and therefore my gynaecologist suggested we try Femoston

Estrogel hrt and additional vagifem
Hi. I have a history of hrt intolerance and having had a total hysterectomy I can now just about tolerate estrogel in a very low dose. I have been prescribed vagifem 10mcg and wondered if this will effect my Estrogen levels, despite the gynae saying it won't. Any response or feedback gratefully received

HRT advice needed
I have an appointment with my OB-Gyn today to discuss HRT. I have been on Estrogel and Utrogestan 200 mg for the past six years (prescribed by Hertoghe doctor).

Testosterone issues

testogel
5mg sachets for a year plus along side finasteride (to stop conversion into DHT) and resveratrol (to stop conversion into estrogen.) Okay so everything was fine and got my levels back up to 36.

Questions to those who have gone through peri-menopause
OK, so I would like to ask all of you who have gone through this and experienced the well-known problems...how did it all start for you??? I am asking because, for the past four or so months, I have had the impression a lot of things have changed and I have completely lost control. Since May, I am sweating

symptoms returning after total hysterectomy?
Hi Just wondered if anyone else has experienced a return of symptoms after a total hysterectomy? I had my hysterectomy in Jan 2015 and recently I have had increasing pelvic pain, bloating, terrible low back ache, general fatigue and lethargy/'heaviness'. Not sure whether I have IBS or the dreaded endo

Estrogen dominance vs deficiency (long post!)
OK, so this subject is getting more and more interesting to me, especially since I've been on both estrogen and progesterone (both natural) for the past five and a half years, and it's often recommended you don't stay on them for more than five years or the risk of breast cancer among other things increases

estrogen and progesterone - would love to hear about other patients' experiences
I don't know if it' OK to discuss other things than thyroid disease and treatment here but, since all hormone imbalances are related, I hope it's at least all right to ask the question (hoping that, if it's not OK to discuss it here, at least those who have some answers would be willing to PM me): Lately
