how to come off thyroid meds?
At some point relatively soon, I might need to come off thyroid meds to see if I need them. How do I do that?! I've done some researching and reading around this and there seem to be 2 schools of thought. One is to wean off gradually and the other is to go relatively suddenly, because any amount of

URGENT Help Please
UPDATE..... I finally managed to source some but looks like I am going to have to split my script between two pharmacies which is going to be an absolute pain. Am experiencing awful time in pharmacies not being able to obtain my Morningside T3. I am sensitive to Mercury Pharma, TEVA, and also anything

2nd FET protocol for 4th embryo transfer
Hi all, I’m looking for some advice on FET protocols. I’ve had 2 fresh rounds of IVF treatment and one frozen. The first cycle of IVF resulted in two embryos. We transferred one embryo, which resulted in a BFN. For our frozen round we also got a BFN. For our next fresh round our consultant suggested

Has anyone felt worse when first adding T3?
Hello All, I've recently added 5mcg T3. 6 weeks later I felt awful (exhausted, brain fog) and blood test confirmed my T4 had lowered so I increased my levo from 137.5 to 150 and kept the T3 at 5mcg. At the same time, I increased my estrogen, which I now know was a mistake to do at same time because

Cholesterol
Where can I find reliable information regarding cholesterol levels. I am in the US and cardio specialist who is also a lipid specialist is confused due to so much conflicting info for people with PBC and cholesterol. My LDL is high, so is my HDL and my Triglycerides are normal. I don't have any heart

Advice please
Please could I receive advice on these latest MMH private test results. I increased T4 to 100 mcg from 75/100 ten weeks ago due to low T4 (for me but within range) now T4 abnormal. Palpitations were the main reason to increase and these subsided once I did. All protocols followed on timings etc

Incorrect testing advice from clinic - BFN at 9DPET
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience as me in terms of early testing. I was instructed to do a pregnancy test today by my clinic which is 9 days post double FET. My test was negative so I informed my clinic who rang me two hours later to say they had given me the wrong test date

Intrinsic factor
I seem to be at a sticking point with the findings of the intrinsic factor test. This is due to the way they now interpret the test results. My test result was Au/ml 1.63 ... Which I jumped with joy over as I thought "at last, this proves I have been telling the truth". How wrong I was. It is no longer

PSA rockets up to 344
Hello - I received quite shocking news during my visit to the Mayo Clinic last week. My PSA has jumped to 344 from a low of 3.6 last November, when I completed chemo with cabazitaxel. PSA did start to rise quite soon, into double digits, but this is by far my highest PSA ever. Dr. Kwon recommended
