Well, I've barely begun this blog and already have taken a break from it! This past month, anticipating the holidays, was very difficult for me. Another Christmas and no baby. My girls are getting big, my oldest questioning Santa, and it just reminds me that we are moving further and further away from the "baby" time of our lives...
I didn't chart at all last month. In fact, at the moment, I'm not sure where my chart is. I need to find it and start again, but my feet drag behind me to do so. It is strange to me that one of the tools we are using to help us try to conceive has become such a burden to me at the same time. I resent that chart!
I was officially diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Mild, but there none the less. All of the traditional medicines for hyperthyroidism are not good for trying to get pregnant, so Dr. Wilson recommended treating it with some supplements instead. I started taking B6 (mucus enhancer) and selenium (helps the thyroid) this month and am continuing my allergy medications and regular multi-vitamin. I look like a real pill-popper in the mornings! DH's medicine for hypothyroidism was upped and seems to really be helping at this point. We'll both have additional blood work in about 6 weeks to check on thyroid functioning.
So, for now, its more of the same. Chart, wait, try, try, again....
