Believe it or not, I do have a bit of a life. Granted, it's not much of one these days, but my I am an active member a sorority alumnae association (yes, I'm a sorority girl!) that meets once a month. Our monthly get-together was Thursday night and by the time I got home all I wanted to do was crawl into bed. It's been a long week both work-wise and TTC-wise, so I needed some sleep (which I didn't get for various reasons). (I'm sure that before long I'll write a post about how I love to sleep but my work hours don't jive with my body's internal clock. It's a problem that has plagued me my entire adult life and it seems to be getting worse as I become older. But I digress.)
I went on Thursday morning to get blood drawn for the re-do of my TSH and Prolactin labs. I got a call mid-afternoon that both my TSH and Prolactin levels were in the normal range. The nurse that called me chalked it up to a lab error the first time around. So I guess I'm in the clear there. But I also checked my doctor's website today and got one more result...my AMH was high. According to this page anything over 3 ng/ml is high, and usually associated with PCOS. I'm well above 3 ng/ml. (I actually saw another website that showed that cutoff as 5 ng/ml, but I'm well above that, too.)
That's really all I have to report at the moment. It's going to be a busy weekend for me. We're in one of our busy seasons at work and I'm up to my eyeballs in things that I need to get done this weekend either because I didn't get a chance to work on them during the week or because I intentionally put them off for the weekend. I'm hoping to be able to stay at home to work on them, but, depending on how distracted I get, I may wind up spending several hours both over both days in my office, which will make me sad. Since I may be otherwise occupied until then, don't be surprised if I don't post anything before the return consult with our RE next Wednesday. I'm hoping to come out of that meeting with a clear picture with what's going on, an official diagnosis or two, and a game plan. I'll be sure to post more when I know more.
With that in mind, plus the fact that it's going on 2 am, I need to head towards bed so I can get a halfway early start to the day. Good night!
