This is my first shot so I want to know exactly when I’m going to start seeing weight gain




Which of the following hormones stimulates the maturation of reproductive cells in both male and female
humans?
a. estrogen
b. FSH
c. progesterone
d. testosterone
e. oxytocin




I’m 7 weeks pregnant, and my ovaries feel tender as though they have pressure. This is my second pregnancy, and i can’t really remember if this is how i felt the first time around. I have my doctors appointment tomorrow but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this kind of pressure/tenderness in their ovaries during the first trimester. Thanks.

How can i tell if my ovarian cyst is twisted?




I have an ovarian cyst and my doctor said it should go away on its own. He also said that I need to make sure it doesn’t get twisted though. What are the symptoms of a twisted cyst?




My mother in law had one this morning. She is doing ok and should be able to come home from the hospital tomorow. I have read a little on it but I want personal experience from those who have had it or know or taken care of someone who has.




They have recently started their period a couple of days ago, can you tell me what that mean?




I am a ftm, pre-everything, and I’m looking to start testosterone soon. Is a therapist required in all cases? If so, how do I go about finding one?




I am convinced that my "mental health issues" are directly related to my hormones. I am 40 and done having children. Anyone heard of such a thing?

Luteal Phase Defect: Natural Progesterone Cream?




I have a short Luteal phase – about 9 days. I just started taking Vitamin B6 & want to also try natural progerterone cream. Anyone have any experience with this? Has it helped? PG success stories?

Also, what brands of OTC cream have you used & where to get it?

Thanks!
Also, I just read that taking the prog. cream can mess up your horomone levels…is this true? I thought it was harmless, since it is all natural

Hormonal Imbalance: Which Doctor?




I think I may have a hormonal imbalance. Should I go to a specialty doctor to have myself checked out? If so, which one? Or a "family" doctor?
I think it may be something the Pill can fix, but I do not want to be misdiagnosed.
All of a sudden I have grown more body hair and my breakouts have become inconsistent, as with my periods. I am 16 and lebanese, so I’m used to a little body hair, but I think my hormones went crazy over the past 4 months :/




im mtf and kinda scared i will only live to like 50 or 60 and then bam liver cancer =[




are these signs of pregnancy?

if not what could it be?




Every month, I get the worst cramps ever. They hurt so bad that I can’t do anything expect for lay down. Nothing has helped either. My mom took me to the doctor and she put me on birth control. But, I have to go back and have an ultrasound down to check for ovarian cysts. What can I expect? Will the make my mom leave the room? Will I have do have something in my vagina? Please help :P
Thanks so much(:
I’m 15 almost 16.




Hi, I was concerned about my mom, me and her think she is pregnant. Its been a while since she has had her second child. She is 52 and the doc has already told her that she is going thru menopause. I have researched about being pregnant during menopause and I have found it is possible but unlikely. Also my mom does have the symptoms of getting pregnant. she has experienced a lot over some time. Her belly is big and firm and she has a lot of sharp pains, Mainly in the lower region of her abdomen and lots of lower back pains too. I’m so confused. Is she pregnant or not?
Ok, it could be a possibilty that she she isnt… but i mean she has alll… the symptoms, like darkiness around the nipples, cramping… fetus moving… tiredness…weird taste in mouth… still think i should have her get a pregnancy test?




I have been menstruating for an entire month, but before this I had not menstruated for two months, I just thought that perhaps it was due to stress! Is it possible that at age 33 I may be menopausing?
