knee replacement
saw a private Dr yesterday about my knee. The complete opposite to what my NHS consultant said. He says right away it’s swollen - I said it’s been like that most of the past 5 years / am used to it and hopping along. Quick run through my health and where am at and says of course you need a knee replacement

HRT and thyroxine
Morning all, I have been stable on 175ugs of levo for about two years now and I also take HRT. In a couple of months I will be having a THR and have to stop HRT for four weeks. Does anyone know if this will affect how much levo I may need. I know you aren't medical but it would give me an idea as to

Endometriosis formally diagnosed via laparoscopy 2023, however had no effect and still in chronic pain. Due to other medical issues can’t go on any contraceptives and HRT. Tried the Decapaptyl (GNRH) injections but bleed 24/7 with them?! Endo BGSE specialist has said there are no other options as hysterectomy

HRT and waiting for scans
Earlier this year in March, I saw my GP to ask about HRT, so blood works were done and anomalies found so went for an ultrasound and found to have Fatty liver and hepatic hemangioma. I'm now waiting for a fibroscsn in December and I'm worried and scared. To help myself I've stopped alcohol completely

Oestradial HRT & the thyroid, Lenzetto blood tests
I just wondered if low oestradial affects the thyroid? I have been on HRT since March and my level is still only 197 pmol/L. I use 3 sprays of Lenzetto. I wondered if it could be affecting my thyroid function? I don’t have menopause symptoms, I had bottom of range testosterone, but this is now in range

I dread to think of a 2nd surgery, I also don't want another period waiting for symptoms, as I did with my original

before

. Has anyone any knowledge of what the treatment process is in the UK out of the 3 options above? Does anyone know if keyhole repair is now widespread?

Testosterone and SHBG puzzle ...
Hello all, I am on HRT including testosterone replacement: what do you think of these results? High SHBG, high testosterone but sub-optimal Free Androgen Index, I was told by a menopause doctor that the index should be around 2.5 to be optimal and that is the most important indicator. I was put on a

cost of Forteo, Tymlos, Evenity, Prolia in USA
after being on HRT for a year my numbers have worsened and I now have osteoporosis in spine and both hips in the -3 range. In addition I need a biopsy for breast lump. Ugh. So I’m faced with choosing a new osteoporosis drug. Besides the side effects they all seem to have, I’m considering the cost as

IVF medication following BFP for those with POF?
Hi everyone Hoping to find a consensus re: dates of stopping hormone treatment for those with premature ovarian failure going through IVF. Recently thrilled to get a BFP following D5 DE FET (still early days, only 4.5 weeks along). My clinic seem to adopt a 'one-size fits all' approach and stops progesterone

Does anyone know if you can take eltroxin along with progesterone and estradot patches / vagifem
I’m on thyroid meds /-eltroxin .I take these in the morning on an empty stomach I’m going on the above HRT meds . Shall I take them in the evening after food ? Eltroxin states on the leaflet that HRT may Interact ? Pharmacist says there should be no interaction ? Maybe I should get my bloods done
