Im starting to wonder if there is such a thing as good news in my life.
In case you didnt see or forgot about 2 weeks ago they did a bunch of bloodwork on me and my liver enzymes came back elevated at 109 (normal is from 0 to 40)... they were hoping that it was from drinking one night over that weekend or all the vicodin I had taken that month due to my wisdom teeth so they had me take NOTHING except my metformin and prenatal vitamin and BCP (because I am in the middle of an IVF cycle).
Well this wed they drew my liver labs again. I got a call yesterday and said that I had to stop metformin immediately and go see my primary care physician because my ALT came back at 167, in a week and two days it went up that much.
I am DEVASTATED. First of all, what will my primary care dr do?! She doesnt know anything about any of this and noone ever gets it when I explain why I am on metformin and im not diabetic. Second, I am supposed to start lupron on wednesday.... I CANNOT handle a cancelled cycle. I really cant. I am scared they are going to tell me that I cant take ANY meds because of my liver until it gets better.
Also, if I do get to cycle it will be without my metformin. The drug that in supposed to increase my egg quality and PREVENT MISCARRIAGE.
I feel so broken.
Hi from ICLW. This is devastating news. I am so sorry for you. It sounds like everything is out of control right now. I hope that your liver recovers quickly and that you can proceed with your cycle as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the awful news. I hope that they do not cancel your cycle and that your liver gets back to normal soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW. I'm sorry to hear your levels have gone up, that's just not fair. I really hope your cycle isn't cancelled, trust me, I know how it feels! I really hope you get good news next week.

Came here from ICLW and I am thinking all positive thoughts for those liver enzymes to get back to normal! I know how scary and devastating a canceled cycle can be. I'm looking forward to reading more of your blog and following along on your journey. :)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from ICLW & wanting to give you a little encouragement...I think that with your elevated liver numbers your docs do need to be careful before proceeding. You can always postpone your cycle, your meds will be good for a while...but you don't want those meds going through your liver without knowing why it is elevated. Take a deep breath & I will be praying it turns out all right for you. Good luck to you and your husband.
ReplyDeleteHow frustrating, I'm sorry! I hope that it works out and your cycle isn't canceled. I know how that feels - CRAPPY. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW!

Oh hon, that really sucks (((HUG))) I hope you get some good news from your Dr. As someone who has experienced a cancelled IVF cycle I can completely relate to how you are feeling and it's crap. Wishing you all the best.

Popping by from ICLW! I hope they get those numbers figured out and your cycle ends with a BFP!!!
ReplyDeleteI am also on Metformin and this highly scary. Ugh. Well i heard the key to it is taking it ahead of time, so hopefully it's been long enough. I hope everything is okay with your liver though. Sending you many positive vibes for your cycle...

Here from ICLW, I hope your doc can figure out something for you. So sorry about a possible delayed IVF cycle...
ReplyDeleteOh honey, that's just not fair. I hope that damned liver starts behaving and you don't have a canceled cycle. Good luck and I'm praying for you.

Wow! How incredibly dissapointing and frustrating. I'm sorry. I'm hoping that one doctor or another can get to the bottom of this quickly and you can have your happy ending. Happy ICLW! -- Jay (ICLW #78)
