sj, I'm trying to think of supportive things to say, and coming up all bras.
Ha! Well, making me laugh helps. No IUI this month because insurance said no more. I can't start IVF for at least two more cycles. My thyroid is normal but in a range that puts me at a higher risk for miscarriage, so now I have to start thyroid medication. No clomid this month because apparently I have a cyst that is giving off estrogen (I think that is what the nurse said). And I have to go for a test next week in which I have to take a bunch of antibiotics and advil all at once, and the last time I did that I got so very sick.
t /tmi Sorry for the brain dump.
sj they upped my thyroid for each pregnancy. I can at least assure you there that the meds are very easy to tolerate.
Thanks, Burrell. I have new medicine phobia, but hearing that really helps. Did they leave you on it throughout the pregnancies?
Sean, I hope you feel better soon.
I'm sorry you didn't have better news for Arthur, Fred.
sj, I hope the meds aren't as bad this time around.
Sorry to hear about Arthur, Fred.
He's lucky to have you two as people.
I've taken it regularly for 11+ years as I am hypothyroid. But I was first diagnosed when I was TTC.
sj, I hope the meds aren't as bad this time around.
I won't be taking the meds that I had trouble with again; it will be an all new set when I start IVF. Hopefully the thyroid meds will be fine, like Burrell said.
TCG takes thyroid meds too, with no problem. I've had my thyroid tested a million times, but it is always normal. I guess it still is, just not for pregnancy.
Thanks, Burrell. I have new medicine phobia, but hearing that really helps. Did they leave you on it throughout the pregnancies?
I can second Burrell on the gentleness of thyroid replacement hormones. I've had plenty of weird-ass reactions to other common medications and have noticed zero side effects with either Synthroid or Cytomel (or generic subs thereof).
