Damn, just tried sending a long post and it disappeared!
I am so peeved. Thanks to BellyBelly and this thread, I read about thyroid antibodies late last year. I asked my endoc if I had these at my last visit in December. She told me I had 2 of 3 (the one which can be passed from mother to daughter I don't have). I don't have a copy of the test or remember which ones I have or their levels.
I just called my endo and asked her to send a copy of my results. I asked her if having these antibodies made it more difficult to fall, and she said yes. I've been seeing the woman for 5 years and she's never explained this to me! I mentioned what Nikki said (thanks, Nikki; no names or web site mentioned) about taking clexane to improve chances of falling. She said it's a controversial area but prednisone is probably a good idea.
I took the clexane/aspirin/prednisone combo for my last stim cycle based on the second opinion of another FS. We're in the middle of a TWW (HRT FET cycle) now and based on results of some BTS (Lupus, Factor V and others, but not natural killers which somehow got missed) my FS just put me on aspirin.
I am just so peeved that I've been relying on my endo who's not told me this for 5 years. My FS knows I have a thyroid problem but relies on my endo to treat it. So where does that leave me? In the dark - that's where.
Can any of you ladies give me some more info on these thyroid antibodies?
