HappyGrace Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I am going to get Vit D checked-it was low a few yrs ago but now I supplement. Anything else I should be asking about at this age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It isn't strictly a gyno thing, but when I saw my family doctor a couple of months ago (and got the well woman part done during the visit), I discussed with her when she would want to start testing me for diabetes, since I have heavy family history of it. Also, I would discuss whatever protocols would be appropriate *for you* re: breast cancer, since family history might dictate different things. And at 45, I would also talk about what to expect re: menopause and talk about options for making that as pleasant as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Great ideas, thanks! I should also mention that I had my saliva tested a few yrs ago and am now on natural bioidentical progesterone cream (Emerita)-I researched all this myself when I wasn't feeling good and found out I was estrogen dominant (get the testing done through a natural bioidentical pharmacy) So I'm not big on taking a bunch of meds and stuff. I like the idea of getting tested for diabetes too-I do have a family history and would have forgotten to ask about that-glad I started this thread-thank you!
