I just got my liver function test results back, and it says my alkaline phosphatase is at 133.8 UL, but the normal range is between 38.0 to 94.0. Should I be worried about this high level? What could it mean for my health?

Traveling after IVF transfer can be a concern. _General Guidelines_ 1. _Avoid heavy travel_: For 2-3 days after IVF transfer, minimize travel to reduce physical stress. 2. _Smooth roads preferred_: If you must travel, opt for smooth roads to minimize bumps and jolts. _Road Conditions and Travel_ 1. _Bad roads may not be ideal_: Avoid traveling on very bad roads, as the constant jolting can cause discomfort and potentially dislodge the embryo. 2. _Short distances might be okay_: If you must travel on bad roads, short distances (less than 2 hours) might be manageable, but exercise caution. _Precautions_ 1. _Wear a seatbelt_: Ensure your safety and the embryo's by wearing a seatbelt. 2. _Avoid bumpy roads_: If possible, take an alternate route with smoother roads. 3. _Stay hydrated and comfortable_: Drink plenty of water, and try to relax during the journey. _Consult Your IVF Specialist_ It's essential to follow your IVF specialist's specific advice, as they understand your individual situation and treatment plan. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your IVF treatment and the health of your embryo.

What could be the cause of rotten egg-smelling farts along with bloating? Could it be a sign of a bacterial infection like H. pylori or maybe a food intolerance?

I'm seeing blood in my mucus pretty often throughout the past month. I did a PT Prothrombin time test, and it was 15 seconds, which seems higher than the normal range of 14.4 seconds. But the INR is 1.17, which I think is okay. I'm wondering if the bleeding is linked to some liver issues or if having a PT of 15 seconds is still considered normal? Do you think I should go for a Liver Function Test (LFT) to check what's going on?

Yes LFT is advised to the patient.
