[FuzzyCaz]

This is a good a place as any to do my first post!


Name: Caroline
Age: 36
Relationship status: Married 2 years, together 12 years.

How long until TTC: Totally depends on my Endocrinologist giving me the green light

Reasons for WTT: We spent the first 8 years of our relationship thinking we had all the time in the world for babies 'n' stuff, so we never even considered TTC, it was always something we'd get around to at a later date. Then I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism/Grave's disease...and put on anti-thyroid meds, which were also very much anti-foetal development meds. And given very strong instructions from my GP & my Endo not to even *think* about TTC, which were repeated to us both ad nauseum. Then due to complications with my Grave's I was put on the waiting list for a Total Thyroidectomy, and another voice, the surgeon, chimed in the with the "don't even think about it!" chant.
Obviously, as I got older, the more I was told I couldn't, the more I wanted to! ....its utterly unbearable and has reduced me to tears on more than one occasion. Even harder when friends around you are popping babies out like smarties, and I have to pretend to be delighted for them...no that's not true, I am delighted for them, there's no need to pretend, but I'm also falling to pieces inside anytime I'm with them, or discussing their babies etc, and I'm trying SO hard not to let them know it, because I don't want to be the buzzkill whenever I'm around them.
Now, I've had my thyroidectomy 6 weeks ago, and I'm now on thyroid replacement medication, much more conception- and pregnancy-friendly....BUT, I'm still on hold with regards to TTC as I have been strongly advised to wait until my thyroid levels are totally under control....which could be next month, next year, or never...so I feel much relief at having finally had the op, but at the same time, with regards to starting a family I feel we're just treading water again, and I'm starting to give up hope.
Various healthcare professionals are advising me to leave it for a year....but I'm 36, and next year I'll be 37...and heck, I've already been putting it off for the last 4 years!
Spoke to my Endo on Tuesday, and he said my current bloodtests were perfect. My previous post-op bloodtests were borderline OK, and if my next set of blood tests (in 7 weeks) were also OK, or even better, spot on again...then he would consider allowing me (us) to give it a go. Bearing in mind my thyroid levels will go haywire again once I do get pregnant, I do totally understand we have to get them right before we start...but boy, am I getting impatient!

Anything you want to accomplish while in WTT, before TTC: Education, education, education...on everything I can do to improve my chances, given my age & medical history etc etc...oh, and lose as much weight as I can. I also hope that once my thyroid levels have settled, that my cycles will also settle...they have also been haywire for the last few years...ranging from 14 day cycles to 67 day cycles...nightmare.

How many children would you like: 2 would be lovely. but right now 1 would be a miracle!
