Long time member advice required on recent thyroid blood test after starting HRT.
I’m just after some advice on my recent blood test I had taken myself. I know the drill no levo 24 hours before. NDT gap of 8 hours. Vitamins stoped week before My test was taken at the same time as all other blood test 7.10am. I always stick to this routine to ensure consistency. I decided to take

Medichecks hormone test. Any thoughts?
I’ve been on thyroid replacement for about six years now and starting to feel that quite soon I will have improved as much as I’m going to and I’m wondering if HRT could be the last part of what I need to feel more like me. I’ve remained reasonably well all things considered but it’s as though I’m a

Post Menopausal?
Hello This is my first time on this board but I am also on the Thyroid UK board - hello! I've always wondered about this - and hope that someone might be able to answer or have any other explanation? When I was 43 - nearly 10 years ago - I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid via an ordinary

Afib/Flutter/Palps - Ross procedure.
I had my 3rd aortic
valve
replacement
surgery in the space of 12 years in June 2022. I opted for the Ross procedure since I’m still quite young (31 y/o) and don’t have kids yet. This was also recommended by the consultant. All is generally well, I’ve just noticed I get more flutters recently.

Extra heart beats - should I pursue this?
HiI have on going palpitations. They are partly what drove me to gp in 2019 when I was diagnosed. They are better than they were. I take 100/15. I have found They are less when I take my t3 all in one go. I am about to start trial of hrt. (I have a second post). The doctor sent me for an ECG. This

HRT - does it take effect quickly?
Hi For those of you on hrt do you feel the difference quickly or is it slow like levo? I am just about to start a trial of oestrogen patches and progesterone tablets. I still have regular periods but have on going fatigue and muscle aches, palpitations etc. Gp thinks it's because I'm perimenopausal.

Stopped taking NDT thyroid
Hello, could you share your experiences if you tried stopping thyroid hormone replacement? I was on NDT for years, developed hyperthyroid symptoms +very low TSH (normal ft3 and ft4), had heart arrythmia and high blood pressure, lost a lot of hair. Taking NDT didn't help with my weight problems or other

Hip replacement
Hello I think I have to have a hip replacement. I find it hard with polymyalgia to move my legs without stiffness even with the steroids. So I'm wondering if anyone has had a new hip whilst suffering and how it affects recovery with exercises? Any advice welcome. Thanks

help with Perimenopause anxiety/ depression
Hi has anyone found relief with their anxiety and depression using HRT. I’m feeling so desperate with many symptoms but these two are taking me over and a black cloud is following me everywhere. I’m on sertraline 100mg daily been on it a long time upping and downing the dosage. I was on 200mg last year

. 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?

HRT and Levothyroxine
I have been stable on175ugs levo for the last few years, and I have also been taking HRT. I have had to stop the HRT prior to a THR and wondered if this could make a difference to me regarding my thyroid levels. TIA

HRT MEDICATION
Hi everyone, I am on HRT Medication, which I have been on since I was 48 years old, for 8 years. I am supposed to have had a review every 3/6 months I haven't had one yet. Until I contacted my doctor last week and told her this. She couldn't believe it. I was supposed to have had my blood pressure taken

How long did it take for your HRT estrogen patch to take away your hot flashes?
I have been taking the estrogen patch for about 2 and a half weeks now-(generic Estradiol 0.075mg) and I have not gotten any relief in my hot flashes....My story is more complicated in that I am making absolutely NO estrogen due to years of anorexia making my pituitary gland not produce estrogen. So

T4 14.8 TSH 3.41
Hi, I’m new to the forum and blood tests in general so hopefully I will give relevant info. I’m 54 and have had fatigue for the past 6 months. I’ve always been fairly low energy but this is a different level. I am 10 years post menopause so it’s not that, and I’ve been on HRT a long time. My blood
