Hi ladies, I just wanted to share where we are up to...well, we finally got in to see the endocrinologist on Friday...she was lovely and we feel good being under her care. She gave us a plan going forward and managing the Graves Disease, fertility issues. She has put me on PTU medication to manage the thyroid function and I'll keep having constant blood tests to monitor etc. She said we should be able to resume trying early next year hopefully. That's good news. We'll try naturally a few months, then return to IVF Ithink.
The bad news that made us feel a bit stressed, was that she said my thyroid antibodies are very high, and they increase my miscarriage risk, even if my thyroid function is normal. She said there is nothing we can do about that. So I guess when I do fall pregnant again, either through a natural miracle, or IVF, we will just have to hope that it stays this time. I'll be having clexane injections for the antiphospholipid syndrome too...as well as the thyroid medication (which has a very slight risk to the baby). So I just sohope itdoes work out. I can't imagine the pain of losing another baby.
Sometimes I find people are a bit dismissive of my fears and worry, which can be hard, but I think they just dont understand.
So that's the latest.
