Question

I'm a bit concerned because my vitamin D3 level is really low, at just 10. Ive started taking 60,000 IU every week to try and get it back up. Does this sound like a good plan to improve my levels? And if it works, what kind of change should I expect in my vitamin D3 levels after using it for 8 weeks?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my height because I'm 16 and only 5'3". My dad is around 5'7" or 5'8" and my mom's height ranges between 5'4" and 5'3". I've heard that having a beard at a young age might mean I'm done growing taller, and I have a lot of facial hair. My doctor mentioned that my hand growth plates are fused. Does this mean I can't get any taller or is there still a chance I might grow more?

Question

I'm really curious about something. I had surgery for a benign pituitary macroadenoma back in 2014, and I've been on cabergoline 0.25mg once a week since then. I just had a baby, but my lactation seems to be completely suppressed. Do you think it might be okay to stop taking the medication for a bit to see if I can start producing milk? Also, how long does the effect of the cabergoline stay in your system if I stop taking it?
