Thyroid & General IF Updates
Dr. G sent over my latest results, with more thoughts on Larry's SA. While the numbers may be borderline, they're ok for IVF, but he wants to boost Larry's count when we eventually go that route. Most likely will involve a modified diet and some vitamins.Latest thyroid panel: TSH … Read More »
