I just got my liver function test results back, and it says my alkaline phosphatase is at 133.8 UL, but the normal range is between 38.0 to 94.0. Should I be worried about this high level? What could it mean for my health?

Traveling after IVF transfer can be a concern.
General Guidelines
- Avoid heavy travel: For 2-3 days after IVF transfer, minimize travel to reduce physical stress.
- Smooth roads preferred: If you must travel, opt for smooth roads to minimize bumps and jolts.
Road Conditions and Travel
- Bad roads may not be ideal: Avoid traveling on very bad roads, as the constant jolting can cause discomfort and potentially dislodge the embryo.
- Short distances might be okay: If you must travel on bad roads, short distances (less than 2 hours) might be manageable, but exercise caution.
Precautions
- Wear a seatbelt: Ensure your safety and the embryo's by wearing a seatbelt.
- Avoid bumpy roads: If possible, take an alternate route with smoother roads.
- Stay hydrated and comfortable: Drink plenty of water, and try to relax during the journey.
Consult Your IVF Specialist
It's essential to follow your IVF specialist's specific advice, as they understand your individual situation and treatment plan.
Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your IVF treatment and the health of your embryo.

View allI'm dealing with multiple stones in my gallbladder, and the biggest one measures 10.6 mm with another at 7.5 mm, along with some smaller ones. I recently had quite a bit of pain and got an ultrasound done. I'm curious to know if there are treatment options available that don't involve gallbladder removal. Is it possible to remove or dissolve just the stones?
If you have multiple gall bladder stones and abdominal pain surgery is recommended for removal of gall bladder itself as there might be a high chance to develop stones again in the future. Medical therapy can not dissolve stones but can only manage symptoms like pain and vomiting.
