An Enlightening Endocrine Adventure
After appeasing an endocrinologist worried about my suppressed TSH by a cunning lab trick -- withholding NDT for three days before going for the blood work -- I realized I needed to titrate up the dose. Many thanks to those who replied with their NDT experience. I cranked it up to nearly double what

The importance of training your legs (if you can, of course)
Engaging in fitness activities is considered a standard of care (SOC) for many cancer patients, not only because it enhances overall health but also due to the chemical interactions between muscles and cancer cells. Comprehensive body training is essential, with an emphasis on targeting the body's largest

Growth hormone, Zomacton
Hi We are about to embark on our 3rd embryo cycle and have a decision to make regarding using the growth hormone Zomacton. I turn 42 this week and have a low reserve. I was recommended using 3 does of it in our last (second) cycle but we saw no real addition benefit. 4 eggs collected each cycle resulting

Poor egg equality, day 3 tranfer, need advice/encouragement

Adrenal tumour - anyone here with experience with it?
Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms. Anyone here diagnosed with it or know

A few Things ….
1. I had an ACTH test yesterday as my recent cortisol level was low. I was told my TSH would be tested but not T4 and T3. However when I got there, it was a full thyroid profile being done. I had breakfast in the morning but no caffeine. I had a small bowl of plain porridge and nothing else, except water

anybody had these tests before?
Hi Everyone Long time, no post so I apologise. Since I last spoke to anyone I have been diagnosed with Osteoperosis, so fighting a number of demons. My Rheumatologist has been concerned about my ever decreasing levels of calcium despite eating calcium rich food and doubling my prescribed Calcium supplements

Is my 7 year old son hypothyroid?
My son is 7 years old and he doesn't seem to be growing enough, at least in the last year or so. I am suspecting he could be Hypothyroid because of my genes (Hashimoto's and Type 1 diabetes), so we did some blood work: hGH - 0,27 ng/mL (0,05 - 11,00) IGF-I - 74,93 ng/mL (18,00 - 307,00) TSH - 3,574

Recurrent implantation failure next steps. ERA + Emma & Alice / PGT / Do nothing and hope for the best.
I was fortunate enough to yield 6 too grade embryos at the age of 27, one of which resulted in my little boy who is now 3.5years (fresh transfer). This year i have had x2 frozen transfers, perfect lining, perfect progesterone levels and perfect embryos but BFN. Consultant very disappointed and baffled

Finally got a diagnosis of Endometriosis today
I've been on such a journey with my pelvic pain. I'm 50 and I had a hysterectomy 4 months ago for fibroids. A laparoscopy ruled out Endo last year. I was pain free for the first time in months. I started hrt and my original pains 6 weeks ago came back with a vengeance just like they did last year when

Hello Is anyone able to interpret the test results my endo requested in addition to the usual Thyroid tests? These are they: FSH 9.4, LH 2.8; Prolactin 190; Testosterone 21.3; Cortisol 350. I think he's concerned about my Pituitary Gland. ALSO: I've been tying myself in knots over the equivalence
