Confused about where or even if to start on an IVF journey
So I started thinking about Children 6 years ago when I was 37. We decided after lots of discussion to adopt. We went down that route but my partners daughter, gave us a terrible reference. She has never met me (her choice) and is mentally ill but apparently that still means we were rejected. Even though

has anyone had a lap after total hysterectomy due to possible endo?
4 month after total hysterectomy, I explained a lot of groin pain, I pushed and saw my surgon several times tried different hrt, but didn't work, progestin helped a lot but pms and pain didn't settle, waiting for a lap next week but in doubt to do it, if they don't find any, I will feel stupid, crazy

I’m curious how many with lobular breast cancer here are on Ibrance/Letrozole or other combinations and have not had any other therapy; i.e., mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation.

Tibolone HRT advice needed ! after a total hysterectomy due to Endometriosis
Hi , I had a total hysterectomy 7 weeks ago now due to Endometriosis. Previous to this I was on prostap and HRT patches for 18 months.

Extra cover for dental extraction
Hi. This is my first post and I need some advice. I’ve had PMR for just over three years and am currently taking 2.5mg pred. I also currently have raging tooth ache and although I am trying to deny it I’m pretty sure I am going to have to see a dentist and pretty sure they’ll want to extract it as I’

Are there alternatives to an epididymectomy?
I've had repeated episodes of left sided testicular pain due epididmytis. My urologist clears it up with Celebrex and/or antibiotics. I had a vasectomy in November 2018. The pain started up again 5 weeks ago. I'm on both medicines. The doc mentioned an epididymectomy. I'm wondering about the procedure

Blood test results for my Mom. Please may I ask for help reviewing them given her suspected heart attack some weeks back. Thankyou.
May I ask the expertly knowledgeable folk on this site to please assess my mothers recent blood tests results - post a suspected heart attack. We are in a very difficult situation. Our GP practice is deteriorating at a rate of knots! They are drastically short of doctors. The practice has quietly amalgamated

How to increase ferritin level for a non meat eater.
I've just received my iron blood test from Blue Horizon: IRON 20.8 umol/L 6.6 - 26.0 T.I.B.C 48 umol/L 41 - 77 TRANSFERRIN SATURATION 43 % 20 - 55 FERRITIN 57 ug/L 13 - 150 I know that ferritin it is not optimal for people with hypothyroidism, since I don't eat meat do you

Weird Pain in my abdomen and ribs
It's been 18 months since my complete hysterectomy. Since then, lying down for an extended period of time ( like for a long nap, or especially a nights sleep) getting up and moving really feels bad. It's like all my insides have shifted downward or something and when I sit back up they shift back.

New PET SCAN
My wife underwent post chemo PET CT and report is good. Still local and main lump almost gone. Mastectomy in 2 weeks. As she is Her2 + she shall be on Herceptin or on biosimilars for rest of the year. My question this time is whether insurance pays for Herceptin infusion post mastectomy in India ?
