Thx so all hormones are ok except prolactin
It's 29 and she would like to see it under 24 so she is sending me to a specialist

 

[mannymoo]

Did she say if this could due the reason your cycle is being so weird? When do you get to go to the specialist. Really hope its an easy problem to fix.

Are you taking any estrogen supplements? I've had a read and your level although on the higher end of the scale is still 'normal' but maybe reducing it/finding the cause will sort this out. I've read to have your thyroid tested-did she do this? And that high prolactin levels can inhibit fsh which stimulates ovulation....but with some tests and either stopping the cause of the raised prolactin (ie meds, high stress..yeah that's always in there isn't it!..) and/or taking a prescribed medication to lower prolactin levels a baby is sure to follow! And your levels aren't even that high so it will be easy So...your other hormones are good, you've fallen pregnant before. .and recently. .just a case of looking into this prolactin level a little more then when you are ready-send you to the bedroom ;-) x

 

[bazzb]

Yeah my thyroid is fine!
She says they will prob do an MRI tibmskecsyte no Tumor (sounds scary)
But after googling I don't think mine is a sry high at all

She says this is prob the reason no af as I'm prob bit ovulating
Ill hopefully get a call within a week giving me an app but the app will prob not be for a few weeks

 

[bazzb]

To make sure no Tumor lol stupid iPhone

 

[A1983]

I thought that was a medical term ;-) I even tried to pronounce it ha! Ok hun, how do you feel? At least you're on the path to answers, plus in these next few weeks your levels may lessen on their own and af start. If anyone deserves to get back on track it's you xx

 

[bazzb]

thanks hun... lol sorry about the confusing new medical term haha

I’m okay a little worried, hoping it just slightly high from my MMC and not that I have a tumor on my pituitary gland... I think it would be a much higher number though if it was that but hey I’m no doctor right

Bazz ~ I hope they don't make you wait a couple of weeks! Did she say how the scan looked? Fx it's an easy fix.

 

[bazzb]

no results back from my scan yet, which she said is good as if it was urgent she would get the results right away...

I think at least a week for me to find out my appoinment and no idea how long of a wait after that.... i guess at least things are moving in the right direction... I am just closterphobic so if i need a MRI i may panic lol.

I am so glad i switched Dr's though.. my old Dr kept telling me everything was fine when clearly something is off even if just a little... sorry to rant ladies... just really hope there is no tumor that causing it and i just need some meds and ill start ovulating again... I am not sure even what type of specialist they will send me to a Gyno i guesS?

 

[xoxo4angel]

I'm not sure who they'll send you to...I imagine it would have to be an OB/GYN or Reproductive Endocrinologist. Surely if your GP suspected a tumor you wouldn't be sitting around waiting for an appointment...I know this has to be difficult, but you're right, things are now moving in the right direction for you. Time to get some definitive answers! (PS You are not ranting, this is a scary time for you, so let it out!)

 

[bazzb]

thank you so much for the support.. at least now there is a reason i dont have my period... i was starting to get scared that they would find nothing wrong and not do anything for me

 

[bazzb]

and yay for being 13 weeks Angel XOXO

 

[mannymoo]

I don't think you should worry about a tumour bazz. If it was something like that, I'm sure your levels would be way higher and not just slightly elevated. I thInk you're going to be just fine!

 

[bazzb]

Thanks Manny... deep down i know you are right... just scary when you hear the word MRI and i am a chronic worrier so my mind goes to the worst case scenario lol

 

[A1983]

I totally agree with what Manny said. Im a worrier too-it's horrible as your mind can go into overdrive...but later on down the line, as much as you acknowledge it was stressful at the time you wished you hadn't worried as much! I don't learn though.

 

[bazzb]

no i think i am toooooo stubborn to learn
just seems theres always something you know

 

[bazzb]

Just wanted to say happy valentines day to my favourite ladies

 

[mannymoo]

And to you bazz. Hope it was a special day and you and dh got to spend some quality time together. Xx

 

[bazzb]

Thx! We did he also got me white roses (my fav) also his therapy is going well I am starting to see a small difference at home

Morning! How is everyone?

Had my 18w private scan on Saturday (my nhs one is in 2 weeks) and although it wasn't booked as the full 20w check-he said everything looks perfect When they look at the heart...how long do they take-im asking as he spent about 30 seconds if that, said all 4 chambers beating beautifully and so as I know the heart is pivitol to their health plus indicates any potential abnormalities I asked him if at my proper 20w scan will they do a more indepth check...he just replied 'they will do exactly what I just did'...do you think that's correct?

So as I refused any downs testing etc it was a big relief to see 'he' (im sure it's a boy...bigger forehead than girl pics! Plus intuition) is all well!

Now I know this sounds terrible saying this after all that and I feel so guilty...but I just want to check what you think about his forehead!It maybe that the pic was taken as he moved, but he seems to have a long flat forehead! (Slap my wrist!! Am stroking belly as we speak..he's probably saying 'ohhhh mum! Im only 18 weeks old!' There is a line next to the flat white line that IF it was PART of his face it would make it rounder, but im not sure if its a shadow or indeed his face - between his eyes and forehead. Im trying to either upload pic on here or as my profile pic-let me know! But be honest!

Obviously all that matters is he's healthy. ..but a mum is allowed to worry/over analyse!
