Slwady welcome! So sorry for your loss, gosh all that waiting must have made things even harder. Is your thyroid overactive? I got results a couple of weeks ago that show I have thyroid autoantibodies so have been started on thyroxine. Hope you catch a rainbow soon.
She's not yet sure if I do, because they weren't technically out of the "normal" range, but they were very close on the high end. She wants me to come back in on Day 3 of my next period and she'll retest then. If they haven't gone down, then we'd talk about medication. Hoping I don't need it though! She said once you're on it, you can't safely go off of it while pregnant or nursing.
Jumpingo - Distraction is definitely what helps me the most! They anxiety goes completely away. It's just hard to find things to distract me when I'm bored or waiting. You're right though, so far the dr hasn't found anything wrong, so I need to focus on that.
obviously needing to take any kind of medication would be a bummer, but it sounds like she's just being cautious and watching it. it's always good to feel like docs are keeping an eye on stuff even when they are "technically" still within normal limits and it also sounds like it won't conflict with getting pregnant or needing to stop when you get pregnant (not if, WHEN!)
have any hobbies? i am trying to start doing Project Life (i call it scrapbooking/photo album-ing for lazy people!) and cleaning always seems to help me.
