    About Me

    My husband and I have been married for 6+ years, and we've been ttc for 5 of those. I have recently been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, and have been on Synthroid since Dec.07. We live in a typical small town and farming community. I never thought I would marry a farmer..."never say never" but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

    Interests

    I love to travel, read, working on my home (slowly but surely I will get it done) I have a pure addiction to coffee, although I have gone full circle to organic-decaf a year ago; I still love my Latte's! I enjoy spending time with my family, spoiling my neices and nephews every chance I get! I also like the outdoors, including fishing, hiking, biking, golf, and camping.

      Hi new friend. Looks like we do have similar situations. I keep waiting for the thyroid dx, becasue it is so prevalent in my family and I have many of the sx, but tests show negative. I hope that you find a great RE soon, your world will change but it will move in the direction to get your family started. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

    • Close Infertility
      Type: Hormonal Disorders

      I always felt run down with no energy. I was finally diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and have started Synthroid with great results. I have a family history of Thyroid problems on both sides, so it was inevitable that I would have problems also.

      Treatments

      Clomid Somewhat Helpful
      Too many side effects...I felt like I was menopausal! Was prescribed clomid prior to finding out I am Hypothyroid.
      Ovulation Predictor Kit Working / Worked
      I have used the ClearBlue Easy Fertility moniter. Much easier to track than the regular ovulation sticks. I have taken a break from monitoring, but I am starting again this spring.
      Synthroid Working / Worked
      I have little side effects. More energy than I have had in a very long time. It also increased my appetite, so I need to work out more to counter the extra calories I have been consuming. Brought my thyroid into a good range to achieve and maintain a pregnancy. I had "normal" test results my entire life, but still felt bad. I finally found a wonderful doc that said, "If it walks, talks, and acts like a duck, it's a duck." I was open to synthroid just to feel better, and get back to ttc.
    • Close Hypothyroidism

      Recently diagnosed as "sub-clinical" hypothyroid. Have been on Synthroid for 6 months now, and feel better then ever! Have also been TTC for over 5 years, hoping once thyroid is back in order will be able to conceive.

      Treatments

      Synthroid Working / Worked
      Does increase heartrate, and appetite, does allow me to work full shifts at work, and still have time to do all the things a woman needs to do when I get home. I also had to join the gym to counteract the increased calories I was getting. Does the trick!
