I have ourcrazynavylife! It was SO much better than getting it put in. My IUD had fallen down (the T was sitting on top of my cervix, and the arms of the T were irritating/digging into my uterus - I had been bleeding/spotting for about 4 months straight). As far as I know, my GYN just pulled it out. There weren't any instruments needed. That may be because of how far down it was though. It hurt some, but it was pretty quick. I had some cramping afterwards. All in all it went well! GL today at your appt!

Hello Lovelies!! I am being bad this week and no tagging. I'll be better next week I promise
I am going to be busy um... for the rest of my life. Lol. So I don't know how much I will be around. We don't have much internet in the evenings and my new job really does not allow for phone time. So we shall see.
Numbers: Month 5/Cycle 2 CD31 Maybe 9DPO but I highly doubt it.
RRNSNFQ: I am just busy. I got solid CHs last week but I don't really believe them and I have been sleeping like absolute crap this week so between temping at crazy times and not temping at all I do not even know what my temps are doing. Je ne sais pas. I will figure it out at some point.
GTKY: That makes me feel like I am doing something? Hmm. Taking met, charting, having sex I guess. Other stuff... staying sane We have a lot going on right now between the house and the new job and trying to survive living at my parents. I am at a standstill with most of my life at the moment. I don't even really know how to answer that question.
Hi laides! Posting with an update because we might have to go back to WTDS.
Numbers: Cycle 2 CD 11
RRNFNSQ: My PA changed my dose of my Thyroid meds to a lower dose. I got my levels checked yesterday and they went up to 8.8. Before the dose change they were .38. Either way all the research I've read suggests to be between 1 and 2 for TTC purposes. I am not sure what to do. My follow-up appointment is the 21st, a full 2 weeks after predicted O.
I cannot wait until you get in to see another doctor. Your levels jumping around like they are is ridiculous. There has to be something they can do for you.

I know right!!!! I don't get how lowering my dose by 25 mcg can cause such a huge change. The nurse called and left a message wanting to know if I am taking my medicine daily. Ummmm... YES! and I have been ever since I was diagnosed over a year ago.

Are you on generic levothyroxine or do you take actual synthroid? I believe it is joy who stresses the importance that they are different and sometimes the name brand will actually work better for people than the generic. Which isn't typically the case. (I apologize if I am remembering this incorrectly)

25 mcg can make a huuuuuuge difference. When I was diagnosed, my TSH was 13. I was put on 75 mcg and my body freaked out. They dropped me to 25 mcg (25 mcg!!!!) and my TSH dropped to 1. I had terribly high TSH and needed the lowest dosage of synthroid possible to get me back in range. Go figure!
Generic levothyroxine has a greater range of error possible in a single pill than does Synthroid. I specifically ask for synthroid due to this because my migraines got wretched with T4 replacement and I wanted to change the amount daily as little as possible.
Do you have Hashimoto's? It's the nature of an autoimmune disease to flare and then relax. It's possible you are either experiencing a flare or were when your meds were changed (and now are too low on T4). Regardless, I think they offer 12.5 dosage increases sometimes? Maybe you need a happy medium.
Are you seeing an endocrinologist? They're better than GPs at this kind of stuff! penguin129
Thanks joy ! I have just been seeing a Physician's Assistant at our local Convenient Care center because of my lack of insurance. I really think it is time to start seeing someone else though. I was hoping to be controlled by now ETA: I was never diagnosed with Hashi's, just hypo. Also the insurance situation should be changing come the New Year.
nuggetrn FX those CH are real! Are you liking your new job?
penguin129 I hope you don't have to come back to WTDS! I hope you get your TSH straightened out soon. I *think* that generic meds can be up to +/- 20% of the brand name drug, so generic vs brand can make a huge difference! You should definitely see an Endocrinologist when you can.

I am enjoying it very much. It is an office setting so I have co-workers and doctors that work in the office as well. So it is nice to get to interact with colleagues. I think I am going to really like it here!!

Glad it went well ourcrazynavylife! I was going to say it isn't bad at all but was late to the party lol.
penguin129 I agree with joy to look into an endocrinologist once you have your insurance in place. For the long term they really are a better option for managing thyroid stuff! And I know it is more expensive but my mom has had much better results with brand name than generic in the 25 years she has dealt with Hashis. GL! And I'm sorry you are back to waiting

And YAY for the new job nuggetrn! I remember you posting about all of the options and I was leaning toward the wound clinic option. I hope you're enjoying it!

Thank you!!
So far I am really enjoying it. Orientation sucks though!! Trailing my preceptor and not getting to do anything. Getting so antsy!!
They also all think I am way older than I actually am, hee hee.

updateWe are officially back to WTDS. The PA I am seeing is changing my dose and I'll be rechecked in 4-6 weeks. Hopefully by then I will have a new doctor. I'll be joining you lovely ladies again for at least a month.

Ugh I am so sorry
Yes, hopefully by then you will have a new doctor. I cannot wait for you to get into an actual endocrinologist.
Seriously... more needs to be done than checking the same level and changing the same med every time. Why does this PA just continue to do the same thing every time with the same results? It is clearly not working out... Angry for you People messing with our Penguin's plans.

I am having the hardest time trying to figure out which of 3 insurance plans to buy. This is such a headache!

Sorry for the unexpected wrench in your plans. FX you can get a better dr...as soon as you choose a plan! Maybe that's the way you choose? Find the most reputable hospitable, endocr, obgyn, and see which plans let they are in?

LOL! I wish it were that easy. Money is a big consideration in which plan we will go with though, both short and long term. The good thing is I am pretty positive the OBGYN I had when I had DD is covered so that is definitely a plus!

I just had to do this.... Between picking if I was going to go on DH's plan or pick one of the two plans I was offered through work. I ended up making a big chart so I could look at all of the important stuff on one piece of paper. It was extremely helpful!!
If it would help you to see what I mean I can pm you what I did!

I think that might help nuggetrn. I already have a list of what I am comparing in my head and wrote it down. The nice thing with the Blue Cross Blue Shield website is I can put plans side by side and compare them on screen like that.

I had charts comparing plans that they gave us but physically writing everything down next to each other really helped me wrap my mind around all of it.
