Anchor, my friend got me into Nature's Sunshine supplements. I have had great success with them. Almost all my vitamins and supplements come from them. Since I am a regular I get cash back often too. I think its a good deal.
I took Synthroid for a long time but my teeth got loose, my period got to be big clots, I couldn't get prego, etc. So I stopped. That didn't go well either. My hair started falling out in handfuls, etc. I took "Thyroid Activator" AND "Thyroid Support" from Nature's Sunshine and got prego about 3 weeks after starting those. I weened off of Thyroid Activator and just take Thyroid Support now. I wouldn't go back to Synthroid ever.
I have implemented some of the Nature's Sunshine supplements for DD1 and DD2 and have also had great success. They both still take prescription meds for their issues, but I feel like using the natural supplements keeps the prescriptions to a minimum. I would rather they not take any meds, but life without their meds is miserable for all of us.
Hope that helps my dear!

Thank you my friends for all the well wishes! It is still so surreal.
My morning sickness seems to be getting worse, not better so that is grounding me quite a bit!

Wow, what a fantastic sway! Congratulations
Can I ask what dose synthroid you were on before, and how much of each of the 2 natural supplements you now take daily? Do you know if you have Hashimoto's? I'm wondering if DF would do better on these supps since synthroid doesn't seem to do enough for him.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period
