Early RA
Hello, I'm in a conundrum with blood tests which frustratingly were only taken because I wanted HRT! My CRP is raised but reducing (22-18-15) & ESR also a bit high but coming down over 3 months. I have had an abnormal Anti CCP (10) & above 7 is raised. The RF test was negative. I am generally well

Requesting help with vitamin results - thyroid looks OK
Hi all, After a few years of not having much luck getting my GP to do blood tests, they really took the biscuit a few months ago of only testing TSH and free T4 and not testing T3, even Total T3 at all. When I asked about this, the practice said they are not doing blood tests anymore and were outsourcing

at last I can try some HRT
I have been prescribed oestrogen 2 pumps as well as Utrogestan 100 for a trial of 3 months. I had a small breast cancer 10 years ago so being cautious. is it better to start with just one pump for a week or so ? or do I go straight in with 2 pumps? Your experiences with this are invaluable . thank

Do I need chemically induced menopause injection if I have already started menopause naturally?
I just wanted to ask Do I need chemically induced menopause injection if I have already started menopause naturally? I'm supposed to have injection and start HRT soon. Seems stupid but i would like to know other opinions. I have stage 4 endo and my uterus and ovaries are stuck to my bowel and this treatment

Thin lining medicated FET
I had my base scan on Thursday on CD11 and my lining is only 7.2mm. I’m a little worried as this is the first medicated FET with 6mg estrogen daily (Elleste Solo 2mg, an HRT drug). Previously I had 2 natural cycle FET and my lining was much thicker 9mm. Since Thursday they have up my dose to 8mg estrogen

Loosing the will to live
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease in 1996. Luckily my GP screened for the antibodies as my T4 was borderline; purely because his daughter had been diagnosed with it. At the time I was passing out all the time, I had developed psoriasis, I had brain fog, depression and a host of other symptoms

Pessary in pessary out this morning and not a great experience
Hi, I don't want to give too much detail and put people off who might find it a useful option but I had to have the pessary removed within two hours. I have a stage two uterine prolapse but my GP said she didn't think I could reverse it with exercises as there is 'significant descent'. I've been

Endometriosis and tooth problems
Hello, I was diagnosed with endo in 2012 and I've had 4 laposcopys, a mirena coil fitted and removal of my left tube and ovary. Since then I've been put on 3 rounds of decapeptyl injections each month, (9 months on and 6 months off) over 4 years and I was only given HRT for my last round of the injections

HRT - decreases B12 levels?
Hi all I posted about abdominal pain/problems in December- got a whole lot of helpful replies. GP sent me for blood tests and scan - all clear thankfully. Seems to have settled now - not sure what caused it or why ok now. Thanks for the advice given. Anyway, my new query - I just haven’t been well

Anyone taking DHEA alongside their prescribed body identical HRT please?
I'm on Evorel Conti and learnt today from a friend that DHEA may benefit me.

Help needed interpreting advanced thyroid blood test 🙏
Hi, I’m new here and looking for help interpreting recent blood tests. At the bottom of this rather lengthy post are the results of tests I just had done via the testing company Monitor My Health. I paid for the advanced thyroid panel of testing and it’s the first time I’ve had FT4 & antibodies tested

Surgical menopause - HRT and cutting patches
HeyI had a oophorectomy in June, struggled to get the right balance of estrogen. Finally put on the 100mg patches which have made a difference in terms of I'm not a complete emotional wreck and can function with life better. But I have gained so much weight, I've gone up nearly two dress sizes since

Updates- 😱😤🤯🧐
Hi Feel like the only ones that will understand are people who are the same as me. I previously posted that I had been listed for surgery as a priority 2. So I saw two consultants this week and was told that I havent been listed at all. 🤯😵😤 However both the consultants I have seen were brilliant
