My labs should be back this Wednesday, so then I'll finally know if it’s just some massive error in the results like my doctor thinks, or if my ovaries have actually officially checked out and gone into a coma...😢
Man, this Reddit site has been driving me absolutely insane lately. I haven't been able to log in for days on end. It’s just constant lag, and then I get those stupid "internet cannot display" errors popping up over and over. Even when I finally manage to squeeze through the login screen after a few days of fighting it, everything breaks again. I can't scroll through pages, I can't even drop a post... nothing works. I barely managed to get back in just now after a massive struggle, but honestly, who knows what's broken. Anyone actually know how to fix this garbage so I can use the site like a normal person again? Everything else on my computer is running fine, so it's definitely something here.
So, I went in for my hormone panel on day three of my cycle, and my FSH levels are absolutely through the roof. Like, anything up to 13 is supposed to be normal, but mine hit 87.7. Total nightmare. I had to go back in today because they need to redo the test on day three again—looks like I won't have the final results until next week. I’m wondering if anyone else here has dealt with sky-high numbers like this? And honestly, how do you even fix it? Are there actual medications or something that actually works... or what kind of fallout am I looking at with levels that high?
Look, I honestly think you just need to stick to the plan and take one a day, plain and simple. Just go back and actually read the instructions for once. My take? It’s the same deal for us—if you don't stay on top of it, you're gonna feel like crap the next day, and if you overdo it, you're just asking for trouble too.

She needs to just go see a specialist so she actually knows what she's dealing with and gets the right meds. 😉
Totally agree. Guessing which cream might work is a terrible idea—she could end up making things way worse. She really needs to hit up a gynecologist or even a dermatologist to get actual treatment. I wouldn't mess around with this stuff if I were her...
Look, I’m telling you, she should've just gone to an OB-GYN to figure out what's actually going on instead of just asking random people on a forum. It could be anything, really. And honestly, like Sophia Nelson67 said, once you start getting intimate, you seriously need to be seeing a doctor regularly anyway.
rapidrider3 said:Honestly, that test is just a massive money pit. It’s expensive and, frankly, a complete waste of cash when you consider that $12 already does a killer job and stays incredibly accurate. If you're going to bother doing it at all, you might as well use your first morning urine to get any sense of reliability.
Look, just run the test yourself first, then you can worry about what ☕ thinks about it.
I'm with you on that. Clearblue is a total rip-off. Any other brand will give you the exact same answer whether you're pregnant or not...
Honestly, I’ve never even heard of that happening before... but look, if I were in your shoes, I’d definitely go out and get a second (or third) opinion from a bunch of different doctors. You really need to dig deep and ask all the right questions. We're talking about a pregnancy here—it's your life and the baby's life on the line. Good luck, seriously!div>
Look, she needs to be smart enough to make that call herself and just start taking them, you know? She’s gotta weigh the fallout. Like, if she stays pregnant, does she actually think an abortion is gonna be easier on her than just dealing with the pills? It’s not that simple.
Maybe this isn't even the right thread for this, but I’ve been wondering—at what age are you supposed to actually start getting regular breast exams or mammograms? I know some OB-GYNs just check everything during a standard pelvic exam, but honestly, none of mine ever bother with it, and I've been seeing my doctor regularly for like 15 years now. Just curious, when was the first time any of you actually went in for a dedicated breast exam?
When you’re standing there over that stove, roasting that chicken with all the pride in the world, you’re gonna look at it and think, "Man, this bird seriously saved my life"😍
