DH and I have finished our first rounds of blood work and the question above was Dr. Wilson's response. Turns out that both of us have thyroid issues...his, hypo...mine, hyper. Dr. Wilson was quick to assure us that there is no magic cure, but at the same time, a poorly functioning thyroid is one of the leading causes of infertility.
My blood draws throughout the last cycle that measure estrogen and progesterone levels came back normal. That leaves me with the hope that it really is a thyroid issue...but it also leaves me fearful. If my hormone levels are "normal" then why aren't we pregnant already!?
Dr. Wilson advised a few supplements which we will both need to start taking. Vitamin B6 for me and a few others with longer names for Zyad. We are going to see an endocrinologist next week, so we will see what that entails then.
Emotionally, I'm feeling OK. Just had my birthday and I can't help but feel a bit like the clock is counting down on me. I know that women have babies well into their 30's, but it still makes me nervous. I know that we are doing all that we can and I leave the rest in God's hands.
