High platelets update….opinions please…..
Just a recap on my situation… 52 year old female under the care of a Haematologist for the last 2 years for platelets over 450. My latest platelet count is 486, the lowest it’s been since referral, prior to that 550-600. Negative for the three main genes. Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy all clear. Do have

Confused about iron infusion and low ferritin.
Am I reading it wrong when Dr. Winkelmann recommends infusion if ferritin is 50 – 75 mcg/L but iron tablets if ferritin is below 50 mcg/L or lower? Gibbel

Ongoing battle to stay on T3
I have been on T3 only for over 15 years. This was prescribed by a GP and Endo in Essex. 12 years ago I moved to Sheffield then Derbyshire.I had been with my new surgery for 2 years when out of the blue they started getting cagey about giving me T3, At first it was lots of questions and scaremongering

Iron related question please
I am currently trying to get my iron levels up and they are slowly creeping in the right direction. However. My latest bloods show that my TSAT is now too high at 65% (up from 39% two months ago), and ferritin at 70ug/L (up from 65ug/L.) Is this just something to monitor for now? It’’s never been

Anyone get a positive pregnancy test with zero symptoms after FET transfer?
Hi everyone,This is my fifth and final transfer from donor eggs (an untested 6 day 4BA blast) and I can't help but think it didn't work because it's 5 days after my transfer and I feel nothing. The first transfer was an early loss (hcg was 50 and then started dropping) but even then I remember having

Going from NDT to T3 - advice please
Hi from a chilly England. I have been paying privately for NDT (2.5 grains daily) for some time now. For the briefest moment I was prescribed Armour NDT but the regulators prevented my GP from continuing this so as all they would offer me was T4, I paid privately for NDT for a decade. My finances have

Early embryo transfer (Day 1 transfer) 2WW
Hi everyone, I don’t hear a lot online about embryo transfers that are done early on. So it’s hard to know whether I should be expecting an early pregnancy test to work or not. This round of IVF I ended up with 1 embryo so my clinic put it straight back in the day it fertilised. The cycle before

Adrenal Insufficiency or GCA or both?
I have looked at the FAQs but cannot readily find an answer so here goes.By way of quick update I restarted pred about 3 months at 10mg because my PMR symptoms came back. I have been tapering at 1mg every 5 weeks using Dorset Lady's slow taper (thank you again). I am shortly to reduce from 7mg to 6.5mg

Multiple conditions leading to burnout
Hi everyone, Any constructive advice welcome. To give context, I have PCOS, endo, degenerative discs, lymphocytic colitis and my gynae now thinks I have adenomyosis too. I also suffer with frequent migraines. My consultant has recently advised I am likely to need a hysterectomy and has discussed injections

Ft3 test
Would you test ft3 6-8 weeks after being on the desired dose of t3 medication to see if you are optimal or need to increase?

Reference ranges
NHS use a range of 7.86 - 14.41 pmol/L when measuring t4. However, every time I've had a private test they use much higher reference ranges of roughly 12-22 pmol/L. Even weirder, my t4 always comes back much lower when NHS tested, and higher when privately. Therefore, it always comes back within range
