I'm wondering if taking HCG 5000 IU, like my doctor suggested, is actually going to help me get pregnant. Is there a specific time when we should have intercourse for the best chance of it working?

View allI've been diabetic for 10 years and my doctor recently told me to lose weight because my diabetes is worsening. Would weight loss surgery help control my diabetes better? What are the potential risks if I decide to go for it?
Weight loss surgery can be helpful in obese diabetic patients. Most of our patients were able to come off their diabetes medications following weight loss. It is difficult to comment on whether you would benefit from weight loss surgery as i do not have any details about the type of your diabetes, medications and your weight. You may want to consult a qualified diabetologist.

I'm a bit confused about my thyroid medication. I've had thyroid issues for the past 3.5 years, which started during pregnancy. I'm on 25 mcg of medication. I recently got my thyroid levels checked, and my results are T3 108, T4 7.96, and TSH 1.31. Should I keep taking the 25 mcg or think about stopping it? I'm just not sure what to do next.
Based on these results, it seems like your thyroid levels are well controlled. I would recommend continuing with the same dosage of 25 mcg of Levothyroxine to maintain your thyroid levels within the normal range. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular monitoring and adjustments if needed.

I've been feeling really thirsty for about a year now, and I'm starting to worry a bit. My dad had diabetes, so I got tested to see if that was the issue, but the blood sugar came back normal. The tests did show that my Vitamin D3 levels are on the low side and my alkaline phosphatase levels are higher than they should be. I'm a 53-year-old guy, and I'm curious about what might be causing these higher alkaline phosphatase levels in my blood. Would you have any ideas?
go with liver function tests ,and if you are alcoholic stop consuming alcohol
