Back from another blood test

Thursday, August 13, 2009

Well - the first hormone test came back with just ONE imbalance (prolatin), therefore they wanted to test it with a fasting to see if the level changes. It was a little high - like I'm pregnant. If it comes back normal on this next test, it could be as easy as just changing my birth control pill - worst case - maybe a D&C.

Then of course, I look up prolatin on webmd - the VERY worst case scenerio - a tumor. NICE! DON'T TELL THE HUBBY THAT! He'd freak out! That's the one thing about Webmd - it gives you a heads up on what it could be, but also the VERY worst case scenerio. I like checking it just so I know what I could expect when I do go in to the doctor.

I'm not really worried about it - I have a feeling I'll be changing birth control. I've had a D&C before and before that would happen I would have to have a ultrasound to check everything out.

So I should hear in a couple of days. Next is the visit with the regular doc on Tuesday for followup to the cholesterol. Let's see if all of those salads have helped. It's been hard getting the salads down this week - I think it's just because of not having them the whole week. I think I need to change up the dressing - I think I'm not that big of a ranch dressing fan anymore - at least not on salads.

Thanks for all of your support. I'm thankful that I can just air my dirty laundry on here and there's no judging. We are all in this together - the weight loss journey, the medical problems, the emotional problems.

    I'd say that is good news!! YAY!! I'm sure everything will turn out fine.

Salads...add some cranberries and walnuts and a smidge of blue cheese or feta with a light italian...one of my favs! I think I'll have that for lunch today!! LOL

    NICE! That's something that you are "wanting" a good salad! I think I just need to change the dressing and I'll get back on the salad track.

    I'm with you on WebMd... I always go there and see worst case. But, let's not go with that. Let's go with the not worst case scenario. :)

As for salad dressing. I used to do Ranch all the time and it lost it's luster. Not sure of you tastes, but I find I really like the Honey dijon or honey based dressings or even a light thousand island. Or even a caesar with it on the side - I don't care for a lot of dressing so that works for me not just in the calorie department.

Here lately, there are times when I really just want a good salad. Good luck at the Doctor.

    we must have similar medical problems. My hormone tests came back normal. Hence I had an ultrasound done. I'm still waiting on those results. Good luck to both of us!
