It includes eating foods high in unsaturated fat, protein (from vegetables), iron, and high-fat dairy foods. It's also supposed to contribute to those who have poor blood sugar control due to insulin resistance. Some examples the article gives of food that promote fertility in women are canola oils, veggie proteins (tempeh, tofu) butter, cheese, legumes, and meats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-77689013952887354252008-04-07T19:26:00.000-04:002008-04-07T19:26:00.000-04:00As a point of reference as well, Canadian and Amer...As a point of reference as well, Canadian and American E2 levels are measured differently.<BR/><BR/>********<BR/>How do I convert my Canadian Estradiol (E2) numbers to American measurements?<BR/><BR/>In Canada, E2 levels are measured in picomols and in the United States E2 levels are measured in picograms. If you want to compare numbers, here is how to convert them:<BR/>Canadian E2 รท 3.67 = American E2<BR/>American E2 x 3.67 = Canadian E2Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726325164456309750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-14281568792176366982008-04-07T17:43:00.000-04:002008-04-07T17:43:00.000-04:00Hi gil - Thanks so much for your comment on my blo...Hi gil - <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for your comment on my blog...glad to know that people are reading it, and that it might help someone else navigate this situation...<BR/><BR/>So I looked at your test results...I ended up on synthroid as well, and I am still taking it - grrrr. <BR/><BR/>I don't actually think that LH looks low for CD4. I have had it anywhere between 1 and 5 for CD 2 - 4. The number that caught my eye is the Estradiol - seems high for CD4, unless you are on stims. FSH looks nice though!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with all of this!Alacrityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12875591638441877915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-77093034052697596992008-04-07T12:37:00.000-04:002008-04-07T12:37:00.000-04:00So far Aurelia, neither RE has seen an issue with ...So far Aurelia, neither RE has seen an issue with my FSH or my E2 levels. We'll see what the other doc says tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>As for the karotyping, we were told in MTL that it would take 6-8 months. We were told in Ottawa that it would take 6-8 months. I called Toronto and got the exact same response; 6-8 months for karotype results. There you go.Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726325164456309750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-30695770929489106382008-04-07T11:03:00.000-04:002008-04-07T11:03:00.000-04:00Hmmm, I think the ANA levels may require baby aspi...Hmmm, I think the ANA levels may require baby aspirin every day to maintain a pg, even if your thyroid levels are lowered, and yes, I agree that they should increase your synthroid.<BR/><BR/>I'm not thrilled with the FSH, only because your E2 should be under 100 with that FSH....but it may those lab levels are done differently than mine in TO like before, so who knows?<BR/><BR/>6-8 months for a karyotype? That's ridiculous. Is that being done at Montreal or in Ottawa or TO?Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-48998180791381840102008-04-06T09:40:00.000-04:002008-04-06T09:40:00.000-04:00Yes, I was very happy to find my fsh numbers were ...Yes, I was very happy to find my fsh numbers were much better than I had thought.<BR/><BR/>Glad you have some info!!!Dagnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053957505110515102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-49643001296826751022008-04-05T11:59:00.000-04:002008-04-05T11:59:00.000-04:00Doesn't it feel good to have some concrete numbers...Doesn't it feel good to have some concrete numbers to help figure things out?!OHNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856294075428012923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753835.post-9453859102490719052008-04-04T20:51:00.000-04:002008-04-04T20:51:00.000-04:00I agree with your ideas.
