Question 1

I recently got some blood work done, and my WBC count is higher than normal. I'm worried it might indicate an infection or some kind of issue in my body. How can I figure out what's going on, and what kind of diagnosis should I be asking for? What steps should I take next?

Accepted Answer

Always it must be symptomatic approach if you have no symptoms repeat the test after a week if its still on higher side that need evaluation like chest xray,Us abdomen,urine culture etc.,visit Physician for the same

Question 2

I've just gone through my general health check-up, and while everything seems normal, my lymphocytes are at 48, and the absolute lymphocyte count is 3312. Should I be worried about these high lymphocyte levels, or is this considered normal?

Accepted Answer

A negative HPT (Home Pregnancy Test) 4 days after IUI doesn't necessarily mean you're not pregnant.

Possible reasons for a false negative:

1. _Too early_: HCG levels might not be high enough to detect.
2. _Insufficient HCG sensitivity_: HPT sensitivity varies; some tests might not detect low HCG levels.
3. _Diluted urine_: If you drank excessive water before testing, your urine might be too diluted.

Wait a few more days (around 7-10 days post-IUI) and try testing again. If you're still unsure, consult your fertility specialist for guidance.
