Hi ladies,
I hope u dont mind me joining you girls. Just wanted to share some info.
I am 37 and am trying for my first one. I am an overactive thyroid sufferer and have recently had my thyroid tested for the second time since 21st Jan 2011. I got pretty sick and couldnt understand why I was constantly feeling feverish.
Went for another blood test on Tues 8 March 2011 and my results for my thyroid were hey wild!!!! Normality of thyroid is between 0.5 - 5.5 mine was as high as 131. I was told to retest. I retested Tues just gone (15th). I got my results today and it's now stating the my thyroid (TSH Level) is at 32 in comparison to 131. Much better but still not in the normal range between 0.5 - 5.5. In Jan it was 3.95 which was all hunky dorey as it was the best ever result I got since I've suffered this illness over the past 13 yrs.
I understand that i can only conceive if my thyroid levels are within the normal range. I had a late period last month which was on 28th February. I was due on 23rd but was late. I believe this was due to me taking mefenamic acid in Jan. I took this to control my heavy bleeding as I was travelling a day after I'd started my AF. Dont know how true this is but i was told that this medication can delay periods. So it did by 5 days.
Normally i can feel when i ovulate as i experience ovulation pains, this month i did not feel any pain nor had an egg white like discharge.
My planning for the month was as follows:
AF 28 Feb 2011

14th, 15th, 16th & 17th March 2011
Due next AF 28th Mar 2011
My cycles are usually on time and are a 28 day cycle. I also read that the chances of conceiving even one day after ovulation is pretty high. According to my ovulation calculator I should have ovulated on 13th Mar 2011, my first day of

was 14th. According to the info I have I have pretty high chances of conceiving. The only BIG BUT is, "but my thyroid levels".....could they be a barrier to my conceiving this month?
Does anyone have any info on this matter? Does anyone know of inbalanced hormones who has still managed to conceive with thyroid levels of this level?
Any advice will be highly appreciated.
Apologies for the loooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggggggg boring statement.....i'm confused. But then again, not long to go till i get to know. 28th Mar is not tooo far. Still, any info of any kind is greatly appreciated......
Thanks girls........
