Doctors Appointment

So I needed to get a physical with my family doctor so I scheduled it. I always dread them because I usually leave with having to change a million things and do better, loose weight, take pills, up my dosage on my medication. So Tuesday I went to get my blood taken did the whole starving (fasting). Then Friday went in. I was totally nervous because if you don't know most of my appointments don't end so positive.

Got in the office and filled out my paper work. Then got called back. Had my temperature checked and weight. I was down 13.5 lbs which was good but I had gained 12 lbs during my last round of shots so I was really just down 1.5 lbs but hey I took it. Then I sat in the office looking at magazines while the medical assistant asked me a million questions then Dr. Cohen came in and he is so nice( and not bad to look at lol) He went over the reason why I was there and then went over all my blood work. He said that my liver numbers were great, sugar was right where it suppose to be, my thyroid was perfect. Let me stop there and explain something. I have been on thyroid medication for almost 4 years thinking I NEEDED it and it was helping me because I had Dr. Mezor years ago telling me that I needed it and he just thought this was what I needed. Come to find out I didn't . I have not been taking my thyroid for over a month so it was out of my system and my numbers were at a 5.1 and suppose to be between 3.0-7.0... so there I am not on it any longer. My cholesterol was fine .06 higher than it was suppose to be so I need to work on that with diet and exercise. My good cholesterol was too low so I will be taking a fist oil that should help that. My iron was low as well it was a 9.1 and needs to be between a 11.1-14.5 so I was prescribed an iron pill to help and will check that in 4 weeks. That was pretty much it and he said over all I am healthy just need to exercise and eat better. And I totally agreed. So all and all I had a FANTASTIC visit. The rest of my appointment went great. I would highly recommend Dr. Cohen and the doctors at High Point Family Practice. Just wonderful people and always willing to go beyond the call of duty.

So now that my physical is over Neal and I will start our steps to IVF... Very excited and will blog more when I know more!

Happy Harvest!!
