The spot for "appy" in my brain was already taken up by someone's fictional boss mispronouncing "API" (content warning: YT short), and "choccy" just sounds vaguely Bri'ish to me, so thankfully I don't have this problem.

(I just realized when pasting that link that Shorts don't include tracking components in their URLs, unlike regular videos. Weird.)

    By "first shot" I mean when you go get your blood tested. If you only take the reading from the same sample as everything else, it can show up higher than it normally is. From my latest test (pills, sublingual, spiro (fuck I hate Spiro)):

    Hormone Reading
    Prolactin 76.40 ng/ml
    Prolactin (20 min.) 64.10 ng/ml

    Cypro gave me bomb-ass results while I was taking it (with oral pills), but yeah, those are concerning numbers.

    I'd recommend talking to a doctor if you can about the tumor thing.

    Also, is that prolactin result from the first shot? Whenever a blood test includes prolactin, they always have me sit and wait around for like 20 minutes (with the needle in and capped off), allegedly because prolactin levels increase with stress (getting stabbed with a needle) and that can cause false readings.

    I have this with a Spanish bank and their app; every time I get refunded, whether it's an internet purchase or to my card, I get a notification instantly. Same with charges or transfers, nothing ever happens without me knowing instantly. Really nice.
