sj they upped my thyroid for each pregnancy. I can at least assure you there that the meds are very easy to tolerate.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

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.

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.

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).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Argh. I don't know how annoyed I should be about this, or what I should do. My aunt, who is about my size, sent me Facebook's official notice when someone wants you to take a photo down. It's the photo of my entire extended family from my fucking wedding. She doesn't like how she looks in it and wants me to take it down. And right now, my attitude is FUCK YOU IT'S NOT YOUR WEDDING. So I'm not replying.
I don't know if she doesn't understand how tags work, and wants to not be tagged in it, or if she seriously wants me to take down a picture with 18 members of my family in it because she feels fat.
Raaaaaaaage.
t edit Nope, I just looked at the tags, and she untagged herself (which I don't care about; I have a cousin who always untags herself b/c she wants her privacy locked down, which is fine by me). But, SERIOUSLY? It's my entire fucking family, and she wants me to take it down? What's the protocol there?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Can you do one of those pixelate or blur her out of the photo things?
