My Blood reports
Just today received my recent blood reports. In last report my TSH got elevated... almost suggesting hypothyroid...which I thought was due to Fenugreek seeds..So stopped same... And now you can see the TSH and all other markers are well within the limit. Eating at least one coconut daily...and 70/80

Metformin for OC
Hey everyone, I'm new here, so I figured I should give you a little background first! My mom got diagnosed with Stage 3c Ovarian Cancer on December 21, 2016; at the age of 54. She had just completed four cycles of neoadjuvant dose-dense therapy (Taxol and Carbo) with favorable but incomplete response
