Thank you to everyone who has been following my journey. I've been doing what I can to get healthy since my m/c and it's been a very positive experience with tons of great changes. I've learned a lot and met a lot of wonderful people (and inspired a few to boot!) and my journey to health continues.
My doctor experiences haven't been quite as positive leaving me with many unanswered questions and a lot of very upset feelings when they just won't listen! I did go back to my ENT (and will be seeing an endo as well when I find one I like) and had my thyroid levels done. My bloodwork came back with a rising TSH (still within "normal" levels, but still rising) and a very high TPO. That prompted an ultrasound and it was found that my remaining right side thyroid is enlarged and has nodules. I go for a fine needle aspiration again Wednesday to see if they are cancerous. I'll probably end up with a complete thyroidectomy when all is said and done.
I am thankful that we are starting to make progress in getting to the bottom of the problem, but it will put me out another 8 months or so once we know what's going on. That being said, I'm doing more and more research to fix me but without the thyroid functioning correctly, I have a 0 chance of a healthy baby much less 2.
