Au/ml help
The range for intrinsic factor test result is any result below 1.21u/ml (negative )and above 1.53u/ml (positive). I was informed my result was 1.63. Yes, no measurements of u/ml. When I asked for B12 injections (local GP Wales) as I believed I'd proved I was deficient by these tests coming back high

Examining the Pathology of the Parietal cells
Just read from a post by Rexz , that in the U.S.A. a diagnosis of Pernicious Anaemia can be confirmed by examining the pathology of the parietal cells .( by endoscopic ultra-sound ) This seems an excellent method for confirming such a serious condition as P.A.Which can lead to serious health problems

lapararoscopy
I have a complex cyst probably 7.2-7.4cm and have been told that I will need eventual laparascopy. I am back 23rd of July again for another tvultrasound to check how it is. The gynae/surgeon has done watchful waiting with me since my diagnosis as he knows I am a carer for my mum and I have no one else

Do those with thin linings have light periods?
Hello,I have unexplained infertility. Have had one failed cycle that produced 3 good quality blasts. 1 x fresh failed and 2 x FET both failed to implant. I had one cycle cancelled due to thin lining of 5.5mm. I now take additional estrogen, Viagra, Aspirin and progesterone which have given me a lining

Stills disease or other arthritis pain
Adult onset Stills disease diagnosed aged 17 in 1979 now 62 and not on RA drugs just pain relief and self management by living within the boundaries of what the condition allows. 2023 brought stress and may be the cause of worsening joint pain and new symptoms possible down to autoimmune thyroiditis

High stomach pH
I have just done a second gut microbiome test. The first one I did in August last year showed I had a score of 7.2, which indicated I have little stomach acid. The one I have just done has come back higher at 8.1 (ideal range should be 5.8 - 6.5). Does anyone else have this? Is is a good indication

Inflammatory arthritis & pulmonary embolisms?
After years of x-rays on multiple joints (looking for osteoarthritis) & countless blood tests (looking for rheumatoid factor) - all of which returned negative results - I was finally diagnosed with Seronegative Inflammatory Arthritis in January. My Rheumatologist first tried methotrexate and then leflunomide

Suspected Pernicious Anemia - what next?
Hello, I am very glad to have found this forum as I have been researching B12D and PA a lot recently. I became familiar with the society’s website and found it so helpful. I am 29F in the US and I suspect I have Pernicious Anemia. This is what I know so far (sorry in advance if this post rambles on)

Intrinsic Factor blood test
How long does it take for NHS to run this test? I had the test done last Tuesday, but the results are still not showing on my records.

Any tips for Natural Modified FET (boost lining)?
Hi everyone, I have a persistent thinnish lining (around 6 to 7mm) after an episode of abnormal bleeding between periods (turned out to be silent endo and a polyp that did not show up on ultrasound). Before that, 11mm was my average. After failing a recent FET, my doctor decided to monitor my lining

Supporting Egg Quality
Hello All,We went through our first cycle of IVF in Jan and we are planning our next round in July. The first round we went in very naively and rather blind in terms of body/mind preparation. I have tried to guide myself as much as I can but I wondered what you could add to what I am doing. I am on
