Pregnant Lab Results

 So I got my lab results back and I'm concerned about some of them, particularly copper and how it can affect pregnancies.  Would appreciate any feedback.

Your zinc is low.  Copper/zinc kinda have a yin/yang thing going on and fixing the zinc would hopefully bring the copper into range.  How much do you take of each?

 I had been taking about 150 mg a day of zinc but stopped when I found out I was pregnant since I didn't want to OD too much on any one thing.  Copper I just get what's in my multi and my prenatal.

I'm not liking the low D3, if I read that right. Are you taking 50,000IUs of dry D3 a day? No PTH levels?

 Thanks for taking a look - PTH, intact was 21, which was down from 27 a couple of months ago.  I was taking the 50K D, but stopped when I found out I was pregnant because I didn't want to OD too much.  It did come up to 31 from 23, so I'm still working on that.  I'm taking 5k dry separately once a day, plus what comes in my prenatal and multi ADEK.

You're not going to OD on D3 anytime soon - I would definitely go back to the 50k. 31 may be up from where it was, but it's still quite low.

Your albumin and protien both dipped.  No pre-albumin?  How many shakes are you doing?  Did you try the shake cakes?  I would increase your protein by a couple of shakes a day.

I would also go back to at least 50k of Dry D.

 No, no pre.  Tell me again what Albumin tell you?  I'll increase the shakes, not doing them consistently.  Still iffy on increasing the D until vampire baby comes...

Dry D3 isn't the one to worry about ODing on as much as vitamin A.
