Last Monday's Bloodwork Results

pinkmickey24 · August 2010

So last Monday I went and had the full rigor of test done to find out why I am having such irregular periods. All of the hormone levels came back normal. My OBGYN told me that my glucose was low and my insulin was high, which didn't surprise me because last year I was diagnosed as being hypoglycemic. Also, the weight I have packed on since my dad being diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer after losing 30 plus pounds didn't help it either. But she was concerned that my thyroid levels were high which she said meant my thyroid in reality was low. So lucky for me I had an appointment with my PCP today to follow-up on coming off of the Paxil. She faxed over the results and I am now starting meds for hypothyroidism. My doctor said that this can be what is affecting my periods and my significant weight gain. However, I take full responsibility for my weight gain. She believes my insulin will lower as my weight continues to go down. I am happy to say that I have lost 6 pounds in the past two weeks.

Here is to hoping that my cycles will start being regular rather than irregular and only showing up once every three months.
