We are at the year mark and just doing some testing. Today is progesterone draw.
Fingers crossed you get some answers! Good on you for not rushing out of there when you feel kinda off, too. I know people who would just bolt ASAP, regardless of their faculties.
Thanks love! I had to take a few and collect myself. My whole body went hot.
Today was massively busy at work. So busy that I hardly got up from my computer until almost 1. Stood up and had the dizziest/most light headed feeling I've ever experienced. I swear the walls looked like they were melting and the floor looked like it was rippling. Sat right back down, waited for it to pass.
I drank plenty of water today. I managed to drag myself to the staff room and ate my lunch. I wonder if my blood sugar was low or something. I'm still sort of light headed feeling but not nearly so bad. Blehhhhhh.
If you stand up too fast and get dizzy, make yourself cough. It will help send more blood to your head and keep you from actually passing out. Tip from my cardiologist that has served me well over the years.
That's really handy. I will also be making a note of that. I used to have terrible vertigo.
Here's a random GKU question. I am suppose to get CD3 bloodwork done next month per my GYN (we will be at 11.5 months). She had a nurse call me yesterday because my bloodwork from May had my vitamin D level at 30 and she wants it higher. I have been taking 5,000 ius per day +the vitamin D in my prenatal. Should I ask if she wants to retest it in August (3 months later) to see if there has been any change?

Might as well. If she was planning to have it rechecked you might as well do it in one visit. And if she doesn't want it checked, no harm done.

Usually they retest after a few months to see if the supplement is doing the trick and/or adjust the dose. I have low vitamin D as well.
Eta: your doc obviously will tell you if she wants you back in to check

Meh, my Vitamin D was low when I had a full blood panel in May, my pcp told me to take extra but said not to worry since it was probably due to lack of sun.
If your insurance will cover it, then I say go for it, right now I'm paying 20% of every bloodwork or test I'm having done right now so if it was me, I would wait to have the Vitamin D checked again.
I think she wanted me to get it above 35 before going forward with anything major. I'm just trying to make a list of questions to ask. I called and let them know we are on cycle 12 so I've already sent my charts and thyroid/vitamin D from May's bloodwork. I know they can do prescription vitamin D too. For what it's worth we are outside a lot right now too.

MH's Vitamin D was so low that he ended up getting an RX for it, he only had to take it once a week for a month so it wasn't horrible.

I have been waiting for my appointment for an hour. But they brought me back right at 45 minutes which is the "expected wait time" since it is a specialist. Apparently I am not going to have time to see my wife before my Relay meeting.

That is pretty much what I've read online. I'm completely OOP for anything fertility related so I'm willing to give it a try if my GYN suggests it. I saw that it pretty much gives you a stomach ache at that level.

MH didn't complain about stomach issues but he usually took it right after dinner or right before bed.
I keep remembering that my HSG is going to cost much less than my RE originally quoted me during our initial consult and it's putting a smile on my face. Small victories, small victories.
Blah. I'm planning for our Cyber Security Awareness month (October, FYI) and I have to pick from a list of presentations our consulting firm.
I'm not really thrilled with any of them. They're all a tad too techy, except the one we did last year. I mean, there's Lockpicking 101, which would be cool, but probably not encouraged by our corporate overlords.
Really don't want to have to write and present one of these myself...
This week and next week are crazy busy. We are getting ready for VBS at church so have final meetings and getting everything set up this week. Then we have a wedding on Saturday, kickoff picnic for VBS Sunday night and then VBS M-W.
I have a massage scheduled for next Friday...I will need it.

I'm watching Who Do You Think You Are from a few days ago and it has Ginnifer Goodwin who dresses like Mary Margaret in her everyday life. I find this funny and fascinating! When she is in magazines, she's so fierce and her hair isn't usually like it is on OAUT! Completely random, I know!
