I went for my 6 month follow up for bloodwork this week. My Dr was out sick so I had to meet with another one within the same practice. He was nice but I admit it can be both awkward but maybe enlightening to get a different opinion. With that said, I wish I would have spoken with my own Dr because I prefer his methods.

Anyways, to keep this current, my bloodwork came back normal, and he checked my vitamin D levels which were low (I need to get out more!) He also wrote a prescription for an MRI - which I really don't want to go to for a variety of reasons.  The initial MRI, showed the tumor but it was smaller than pinhead, like the Dr couldn't even find it.

The icing on the cake during this visit, was how baffled the Dr was that my levels went down on their own because I am not taking any medicine.  He was really "WTF" and it made me uncomfortable. The body does things we can't explain but if things are normal and I feel fine, my bloodwork is fine, why make a cause for concern. (No missed periods or cycles, no discharge from the breasts)

He also said that stress doesn't cause them to arise, but I disagree, I've read articles and cases...I have General Anxiety Disorder and I've been anxious all my life. I really think that that is part of it.

I wanted to throw it out there...

Can prolactin levels lower on their own, if so how or why does it happen?
Is stress a factor?

Thank you!

I have had my IUD for 3 years. Other than pregnancy, what woulld explain away super tender nipples and nausea and the like? I dont think Im pregnant since my IUD has been so firmly put in place and such haha. But for the past week at least my nipples have been painfully tender and my stomach has been pretty screwy for almost a month. Would it be possible that the natural hormones from ovulation could set this off? Or perhaps from my IUD?

Hey friends!

So my husband and I have had plans for awhile to conceive this fall. He'll be starting graduate school, I'll have a year off until I start my grad program next fall, and we'll have health insurance through school. And we've both wanted kids for a while, and we definitely feel emotionally and financially prepared for a tiny human.
