Happy Monday!

on

So this evening it’s time to go and get our results (well, my results as it’s clearly me who has a problem!) from Dr S. 

This is what I’ve been taking in the meantime, as recommended by Dr S. 

  
From L-R:

  1. Vitamin D supplement
  2. Pregnacare Conception (female version is pink and male version is purple… a bit sexist but I’m going with it!)
  3. Baby aspirin
  4. Omega 3 (fish oil)

I’ve been taking it for the past couple of weeks with no ill effects as far as I can see, other than…

Observation: Fish oil is minging! (British word = disgusting.) I had random fishy burps for a while. I’ve realised now why that was! I’ve managed to avoid it so far by drinking plenty of water and trying not to take it last. (I am sure that has no effect but it is psychological!)

For interest, here is the list of tests I had:

Full Thrombophilia Screen – HS1

Coagulation Profile, Antithrombin III, Factor V Leiden, Factor II Prothrombin Gene, MTHFR, Fibrinogen, Activated Protein C Resistance, Protein C, Protein S, Lupus Anticoagulant, Anticardiolipin Abs.

 

Full Immune Profile – HS4, HS5, HS1, HS19 and TB Gold

TNF Alpha – TH1/TH2 Cytokine Ratio, Natural Killer Cells (16/56/69), Antinuclear Abs, Thyroid Abs, Gliadin Abs, Natural Killer Cytotoxicity Assay with suppression, steroid, IVIG and intralipid..

 

Hormonal Profile – TFT3 and Prolactin

Thyroid Function test, Prolactin

 

Ovarian Reserve Test – HS8

AMH, Oestradiol, FSH, LH

 

Baseline liver function test

 

Physical 

He noted that I have had several scans and hysteroscopies and apparently my tubes were patent on testing.  

 

So… I wonder what the results will show?!

  3. Good luck tonight! A fish oil tablet burst all over my sandwiches on the way to work once – didn’t notice until I bit into one – not a good lunch.

    Interesting! As for the fish oil – you can get tasteless ones that don’t repeat on you. Or I used to take a liquid one that was flavoured and didn’t repeat either. Looking forward to hearing about these results. X

  6. I hate the fish oil pills, but I did find a liquid fish oil that tastes like dessert. Hope that your tests results come back great and quick! xo
