I just got my blood test results back, and I'm a little concerned about a few things. My vitamin D level is 12.21 ngml, vitamin B12 is at 176 pgml, and uric acid is 7.6 mgdL. On top of that, my TSH is 9.06. Should I be worried about these levels? What do they indicate, and do I need to make any changes to my diet or lifestyle? Would appreciate any advice you can give!

View allI'm really concerned about my journey trying to conceive - it's been 23 months of trying, and I'm getting worried. My periods are regular, and all my blood tests, like TSH and prolactin, have come back normal. The only thing is my blood sugar is in the pre-diabetic range. Now I've found out about this myometrial cyst, and I'm wondering if it could be affecting my ability to conceive. Could this be a reason for the delay, and what should I do about it?
A myometrial cyst is a benign fluid-filled cyst in the muscle layer of the uterus, usually not related to fertility issues. Since your periods are regular and other tests are normal, it's a good sign, but pre-diabetes can affect fertility. It's a good idea to manage your blood sugar levels for better chances of conception.
