Hi ladies! Still no news on my thyroid test... hopefully today. I called yesterday, but of course, my dr. is on vacation all week! So I spoke to the on-call nurse, and she's supposed to get back to me as soon as they get the results. I had asked on Fri. how long it would take to get the results back, and they thought it would be back by the end of that day. Now here it is, Tues. morning, and I'm still waiting... and buzzing!

Samandpoppy--I think it's actually the exact opposite... my meds actually help the buzzing and trembling stop! Let me explain like this: my DS1 is on meds for ADD, which help slow his brain down so that he can concentrate. He's not hyperactive, but the meds definitely calm him down and make him more relaxed so he can think more clearly. However, if I take the same meds, I get the exact opposite reaction--it wires me up, making me feel like I'm all tweaked out! It helps me to think more clearly, but it would feel like I'm on some sort of energy pill or something. I've been on the same dose for years, and this is the first time I've felt like this since before I had my radiation. The thing was, as a kid, I didn't realize how unusual a feeling it was.... now, as an adult that's been taking Synthroid for 17 years, I can definitely tell the difference between feeling "normal" and the way I feel right now! If I hadn't stopped taking my meds and I started feeling this way, I would definitely think that maybe my meds were too high... but unfortunately I did this to myself. If the 'normal' levels have changed, and my thyroid is still technically too high to sustain a pg'cy, then you're right, the dose would have to be decreased, as opposed to increased... but for now I'm just trying to get back to that 'normal' feeling!

marcellus--I don't know if that answers your question or not... I think, ( I know that I should know this!) if I understand correctly, that because of the radiation my body won't produce the thyroid hormone, so I have to take Synthroid daily to replace what my body would normally produce. I think! I really should know more about this stuff, but like I said, I was only a kid when all this happened, and I've literally been on the same dose since, with the exception of when I was pg with DS1, and my body miraculously started producing the hormone again on its own. I've never had the need to know much more than that! Until, that is, I read up that they changed what's considered normal. We've been TTC since summer of '07.... I m/c on Mar. 5 2008, (the day before my b-day ) and have been TTC ever since.... I have normal periods, I ovulate, my BT's after my m/c came back normal, we DTD at the right time--I've gotten "high" conception scores for the last several months... it should be happening, but it's not! The only thing I can think of is that it has to do with my thyroid--especially when they're saying levels should now be between 1-2 to sustain a pg'cy, and my "normal" levels are between 4-5!


I'm sorry, I feel like I'm just going around in circles... repeating myself at times... just not sure what's going on, and so tired of feeling like I'm in the dark about what's going on inside my own body! Will keep you posted on my BT's... thanks so much for all your support!
