Newly diagnosed
Hey y'all. I was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis, I had an acute attack and was hospitalized for 11 days. I've never had issues before now that I knew of, but upon doing a CAT scan they discovered a 9cm cyst on my pancreas. I don't drink, but I did eat quite poorly unfortunately. I had to wait for

Progesterone protocol on a natural FET
Hi there, I am currently 8 weeks pregnant after a natural FET. I have been taking Cyclogest 400mg x3 a day and have been told to keep on taking it up to 12 weeks. On my last FET I only took Cyclogest up until my positive pregnancy test but they have put me on it as a precaution as my last pregnancy

trigger warning. 6 days post FET ?positive
Hi everyone. I am currently in the 2WW after transferring a PGT normal embryo. Had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday (5DP5DT) and felt I must have been out of the game so took a pregnancy test (cheapie) to confirm and wallow in my misery. The spotting happened after 2 long walks and only after checking

Switching from Armour Thyroid to T4/T3
I’m changing from Armour Thyoid to T4/3 prescribed by local Endo partly for financial reasons but also as I’m concerned about supply issues and monitoring. Should I swop gradually or is it better to finish the AT then start the T4/3 the next day. I currently take AT 1 grain am and 3/4 pm and have been

I am lost, should I seek a second opinion?
hi, this will be a bit of a long one sorry. I am really confused and don’t know whether to accept my gps answer or go private for a second opinion. My issues started more noticeably in October last year when I started heavily bleeding and having long periods and very short periods of time of not bleeding

Please advise - symptoms worsening
Hi all, As you may remember from previous posts, I’m still borderline anaemic and so I increased my iron dosage as per instructions several weeks ago. My FT3 has also plummeted from a decade average of 6 to now 4.8 (range 3.1-6.8) I’m getting horrific migraines (they start with blinding auras). I stopped

When to take iron with T3 multi-dosing
I'm trying to work out when to fit in taking iron (Three arrows) with my T3 doses. I am taking T3 as per my private Dr's schedule which is 3 times per day and 6-7 hours apart. I'm wondering whether to switch to x2 per day or can I close the gap and make it shorter than 6 hours and then take iron before

Hashimoto's blood test and cortisol tests
I have been asked by my GP Surgery to provide them with the list of blood tests I believe are correct for a patient with Hashimoto's. I don't seem to be able to find it. Would someone be kind enough to show me where I may find it please? Is it the same as under active blood test or are there 'extras'
