I do know as you age our levels increase no matter what. Stress is a major secondary contributor/causes but you are doing good by exercising, keeping the weight down, decreasing the alcohol and not smoking. Hmmm? Just don't give up and keep on working at it!!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227854170957473360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28957363.post-32745839587348065382007-10-08T09:35:00.000-04:002007-10-08T09:35:00.000-04:00Well, the doc told me to ask the family if anyone ...Well, the doc told me to ask the family if anyone has high cholesterol, to check for a genetic link. And nobody has high cholesterol. Not even on my dad's side who are all overweight. So, it doesn't appear to be genetic, unless it's a genetic mutation in me only. But 5 years ago my total cholesterol was 165 and my HDL was 67 so I don't think I am necessarily genetically predisposed to it. Very frustrating! But, I guess I should ask the doc for some medication that won't interfere with TTC.

Cholesterol is produced from the same precursors as some of the sex hormones, so it's not completely crazy to think that there might be a link.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747382929049494704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28957363.post-224010294971177832007-10-07T19:40:00.000-04:002007-10-07T19:40:00.000-04:00ugh How frustrating is that!?
