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?

I'm a bit worried because my TSH level is 5.4. Is this considered high, low, or normal? If it's not normal, should I talk to a doctor about it?

I'm glad you clarified the correct information. _Monocytes 13% with Normal WBC Count_ 1. _Slightly elevated monocytes_: A monocyte percentage of 13% is slightly above the normal range (5-12%). 2. _Normal WBC count_: Your WBC count of 7,000 is within the normal range (4,500-11,000 cellsL). _Cancer Concerns_ 1. _No direct correlation_: Elevated monocytes don't directly indicate cancer. 2. _Many possible causes_: Slightly elevated monocytes can be caused by various factors, such as: - Infections (viral, bacterial, or fungal) - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) - Autoimmune disorders - Medication side effects _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your test results with your doctor to determine the cause of the slightly elevated monocytes. 2. _Further testing_: Your doctor may recommend additional tests to rule out underlying conditions. 3. _Monitor and follow-up_: Schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your monocyte levels and overall health.

I'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.

I'm a bit confused and worried because it's been 19 days since my IUI, and I just got my period. I was taking Susten 200 mg after the procedure. Do you think I need to get any additional scans or take more medicine? Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

If you have gotten period on 19th day of IUI means that you could be having luteal phase deficiency and need hormonal supplementation to augment the luteal phase. You can use intafol D tablets.
