Hi Megan

If Phil's PP levels have more than halved in 2 cycles I'm sure they'll continue their downward slide.
My PP levels were 45.6 at the start and they dropped to 16, 7.5, 3.5, 1.5, then just showed a trace.

All went well, just coping with the sickness and "the other end" at the moment! They put a driver in with anti-sickness stuff in after a few days as Etta was throwing up a lot. It seems to have done the trick but she's…[Read more]

Hi Scott and welcome.

I just wondered what makes you think you may have MM? Have you had symptoms that have led to your doctor taking blood/urine tests to look for the signs?

I really wouldn't worry about something that may never happen and even if MM is diagnosed, please don't be scared. There's so much that can be done to treat MM even…[Read more]
