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?

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.

Got my blood work back, and it turns out my iron levels are on the low side, measuring 41 ugdl when it should be between 60 to 150 ugdl. Should I be worried about this, and what steps can I take to improve it?

Low iron levels can lead to anemia and other health issues if left untreated. To treat this, I recommend taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets. You can take Ferrous Sulfate tablets. It is important to take it on an empty stomach for better absorption. Also, include iron-rich foods in your diet such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and fortified cereals. Additionally, consuming vitamin C-rich foods or supplements can help enhance iron absorption. Regularly follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your iron levels and adjust the treatment as needed.
