Re: what is meaning of T3,T4,TSH in medical terminology. Thyroid levels can have various impacts on pregnancy and getting pregnant. Also, thyroid levels tend to jump around a bit following pregnancy. Yours is a bit elevated, which doesn't effect the baby as much as low thyroid levels can.
Cartilage ear piercings may take up to a year to fully heal, but generally take 3-6 months (as opposed to the ear lobe, that takes just 4-6 weeks). They heal from the outside in, so even if it looks fine on the outside, you should not assume it is fully healed.
Thread: Swollen Cartilage Piercing! Swollen Cartilage Piercing! I just got the lower bit of my cartilage pierced (is there a special name for that part I got it pierced? LOL just curious...!) just last Wednesday @ Punktured Piercing Studio, Brighton. I got it done professionally with a needle - a 14 gauge barbell right through my lower cartilage. Today, it was a bit sore and I looked in the mirror to find that it was swollen!
