Blood testing before starting sway - Ca, Sodium, etc

[atomic sagebrush]

Thank you, very helpful. Your calcium has gone up probably because your body is taking calcium from your bones and teeth and/or has begun collecting calcium anywhere it can get it from the foods you eat. Your body has ways of getting that calcium even without dairy (and that's a good thing since humans couldn't even eat dairy foods until 15000-8000 years ago and may not even have been widespread until 3-5000 years ago.

So, if i'm right... High calcium in the blood is a sign of declining maternal health when ii is coming from the bones? I was wondering if i should take calcium supps in my girl sway because i do not eat much dairy. But i think i leave that out.


My considerations are as follows:
Less calcium in blood --> body takes it from the bones --> more calcium in blood --> less calcium in bones --> indication of decreased maternal health. --> sways pink
(There are indications that dairy extracts calcium from bones, is that right?)

Calcium supps --> more calcium in blood & same level in bones --> no indication of decreased maternal health --> possibly sways blue??

Also less exercise probably increases calcium levels in the blood then, because no exercise will lead to decreased bone density, right?

It makes sense to me, to you too? Or am i talking nonsense?

I don't think we can say or know at all and so all it is, is guesswork. The thing I like about this thread is that it shows that the levels of the electrolytes in your blood have nothing to do with what you're getting/eating. I don't think we can read any more into it than that. It does make some sense but I'm not entirely sure our uterus can tell our bone health directly like that.

High calcium levels in the blood are not normal. Your calcium/sodium/potassium/magnesium levels are meant to stay within a very narrow range. Yes, your body takes calcium form your bones when you don't ahve any and it takes more/less from the foods you eat but if your calcium goes outside a very narrow range, you DIE. So in this thread we are talking about tiny fluctuations and not big changes.

Thanks, that's true,we are only talking of small ranges... Hmm, it's quite confusing! So frustrating we don't exactly know how it works...

What I wonder about with bloodwork like this, is if its like testing your pH...it can change very quickly. Once I was in the hospital for low potassium but that was fixed overnight with an IV, yk?
On the other hand, some things are really hard to fix and change like iron or the Vit D or B12 deficiencies, so Idk.
I was just really suprised at the calcium for me because I used to eat yogurt fairly consistently but dropped that a few months ago, mostly because of price (a container runs about $7.50 where I live ), I hate milk with a passion (and its $6 a jug LOL)

I know potassium levels can heavily fluctuate but not in healthy people. High levels are seen in people with kidney failures. Low levels can be seen after severe vomitting and diarrea, for example.

I think some minerals can fluctuate more than others.

Hello there !

I know this is an old thread but i wanted you ladies to look at my results from the blood test please...

Calcium : 2.41 (NL 2.16-2.62)
Magnesium : 0.71 (NL 0.75-1.00) mine is low
Natrium: 139 (NL 134-150)
Potassium: 4.3 (NL 3.5-5.6)

what are the ranges ttc a Girl ?

There ARE NO ranges TTC a girl. that is the point of this thread. There are normal ranges and that's it. Biologically, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get out of those ranges without either being very ill or making yourself very ill.

Hey, what's the name of research ???
