Where Do I Begin?

There’s a lot to unpack here so buckle up. lol

First things first! I went and had imaging done at Delaware Imaging Network ( probably won’t ever go there again ) for the breast lump I had found. 2 lumps were actually located, one smaller than the other. The lump that was first discussed by my Nurse Practitioner Cindy N. at the Breast Surgeon’s office in the Helen Graham Center, was the larger of the two. This lump was due to a bacterial infection.

The second smaller lump (which I didn’t even know was there) is a fibroadenoma ( benign tumor ). I’ll have to get this one checked out again in another 6 months or so. Thankfully the larger painful lump has subsided with the help of antibiotics.

Now, for some more information on my prenatal blood tests that were done at my first in person appointment. So, it turns out that I am insufficient in vitamin D. I’m truly not surprised! I’m a vampire 🧛🏿( I work at night so sunlight is a rarity ). The foods I eat also don’t have much vitamin D in them as well.( No meat just seafood,veggies, eggs, etc. ).

Here is the gist of my results.

Above 30ng/ml is currently considered normal.

My Vitamin D result was: <4 ng/ml.

Below 10 is considered critically low and requires supplementation and a referral to a specialist.

So, as of right now I’m being supplemented with Vitamin D2. One 50,000IU tablet by mouth once a week (prescription dose) for four doses. After my four doses are done I’ll be going in for a follow up blood test to see how the vitamin D2 is affecting me. I’m currently on the 2nd dose I take the 3rd later today.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST!

I’m late. Yep that kind of late. I’ve missed periods before, but my cycle has been “normal”?… “regular” ( that’s the word lol ) for the past year. My patient coordinator is super excited and wants me to come in for a blood test to see if I’m pregnant/check where I am in my cycle. I’m just not gonna get my hopes up. I’ve learned from previous experiences that pregnancy isn’t always the case.

Here’s To Future Baby Ransom 🤞🏿 👶🏿❤💕
