Does anyone know anything about Thyroid Auto Antibodies ????
My FS did their usual blood works in January and this time there might be a problem with Thyroid. I have been searching the internet for 3 days now and can't find anything about what is a normal result.
The nurse told me I have to speak to FS regarding it but I would love a heads up on the situation before I go back to see her on Tuesday.
Thyroid Auto Antibodies is 60.
The nurse said my FS doesn't treat it if its 60 and under.
But will treat it if its over 60 so I am boardline.
What is the normal range ??????
NK Cell Blood Test result came back 6.9% which is fine. The Ladies at the Lab said anything over 12% is not good and you need to be on Steroids.
Decided to take a break for a month or two - the stress from IVF stuff is doing my head in.
Have a great day everyone

Danyelle - I'm sorry but I don't really know anything about the Thyroid Antibodies. I had a look on the net also, but it seems very complex and I would not even dare to hazard a guess to what it means. I hope that you get your answers next week, although it is great to hear that your other results are fine.
Renee - What a great result. I hope you are resting up and feeling good. Sending positive vibes to your little embie.
Littlegem - GL for Monday.
Lairdoz - I'm sorry you have had such a tough week. In regard to your fresh/FET question - I think I remember reading somewhere (during the squillions of hours I have spent googling various TTC stuff) that there are Medicare rules in regard to having a fresh cycle if you still have a certain number of frosties (not sure how many). But don't quote me on that. As for the fresh cycle I suppose it would depend on the quality of your embies. I would probably go fresh if I had little confidence in their quality. However you hear stories of poor looking embies thriving and going on to be FET success stories. It is such a lotto!
My FS will be looking at an antagonist cycle next time which is much shorter than a down reg. Approx 30 days from jabbing to BT result and from what I understand can be used if you a good responder to meds.
Mum2B - Hope your scan goes well tomorrow and that your eggies are coming along nicely.
MelissaL - You are doing so well to have not POAS. I am a bit of a POAS fan. (I seem to always POAS on the very morning of AF even if it's been late/early - ironic really.)
GL for Tues only 2 more sleeps to go.
bj*81 - Hopefully you will not even need to consider a new FS after this cycle! I have just changed FS's and am feeling optimistic. It was not a problem ordering copies of my last clinic's records of previous cycles and only took a 2 days to get them. Sometimes a fresh outlook may make the difference.
Miss K - How are you surviving the 2WW? Hope you have plenty of distractions and that the time flies for you.
Loops & Emerald - Hope you are travelling well.
Sorry to anyone I have missed, I am still trying to get my bearings.
AFM - Came across an article in the Sunday paper in regard to a new test that will be available as soon as next month called AMH Testing. It has been dubbed as 'the Egg timer' and it is a blood test that will "accurately" tell women how many eggs they have left.
It measures the concentration of a specific hormone found in a woman's ovaries called anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) the test will cost approx $65. A low level indicates a depletion in egg supply and a possible poor response to IVF drugs and high levels can indicative of potential OHSS from stims.
So I guess it could be helpful for an FS to help determine dosage more accurately on a first cycle, which would be great in helping reduce the number of cycles or potential heartache in cancelled cycles.
Thank you all so much for your kind words of support and encouragement, would be completely insane without you all.
Em-Star ~ So pleased your beta etc are looking great! Hopefully a little left over implant spotting.
Lairdoz ~ I would try FET again I think, because it does happen with FETs doesnt it and a lot less stress and money. But then again if you have the money and are prepared for the hardwork then go for it and then you may have more eggs plus a little one that sticks, GL with the decision.
Melissa ~ thank you so much to you both and for the hugs! How are you going in TWW madness? I hope well!
Loula ~ thanks again for telling me about your friends - very encouraging
Miss K ~ thanks so much. How are you going in TWW?
Renee ~ Excellent! All the best with the transfer.
Littlegem ~ very happy for you, all the best for the transfer, FX
Tantee ~ thanks for that info and your encouragement.
BJ ~ thank you for your wonderful support and comfort xo
Hi to anyone ive missed and BIG
OK well AFM ~ exciting news, just when I thought it was all over and decided yesterday (6dpt) to do a POAS anyway to see one way or the other, to my shock there was a faint 2nd line. My FIRST EVER 2nd line!! Did another one today and a slightly darker line. Something must be happening right?? NO AF but I do still have headaches - so perhaps they are stress headaches afterall or perhaps my body hasnt registered the pg yet or something.
wow Loops dont want to be one to say told you so BUT TOLD YOU SO! so happy to read your last post, are you going to keep BT to 25th or bring it forward ,y clinic would always allow me to bring forward if i got a +hpt at home and wasnt on boosters
