Full time student and even though I am not a competitive person, school brings out a certain type of stress and competitiveness in me. I accredited that for raising testosterone.

propped my legs up to elevate hips for 30+min after each attempt.
Things that make me feel great about my sway:
The HE was second nature after living it for so long. Never felt better in my life, just felt fat but very fertile!
Things that make me nervous about my sway:
EVERYTHING!
Things worth mentioning:
Had two miscarriages in the course of 24months TTC. Finally found a doctor to help with my thyroid issue, (Synthroid did NOT help, made matters worse). Once I got on a natural thyroid supplement I got prego a few weeks later!

HUGE CONGRATS Adia! So happy for you!

Can I ask what your "natural thyroid supplement" is?

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.

Maiden,
I was taking 25micrograms of Synthroid each day.

I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's officially. When I saw an infertility doctor in Summer 2013 she said my thyroid was low for TTC. She put me on Synthroid....then my Synthroid saga, a miscarriage, and I went off it in Spring 2014. I was diagnosed officially in Sept 2014 w/Hashimotos...and had much less hair on my head!

I take the daily recommendation of the Thyroid Support which is 1 pill 2x day.

I hope that helps!

Esskal, my name is from one of my favorite artists, Sarah Mclachlan and her beautiful song Adia! I really wanted to name DD3 Adia but DH said no. She has a name that has Adia incorporated into it - Nadia!!

Atomic, you have tapped into something big!! I think as the years go by your theories and methods will grow and eventually be as well known as Shettles, but a heck of a lot more reliable!!!

OMIGOODNESS ADIA. THRILLED FOR YOU SERIOUSLY DOES NOT DESCRIBE IT!! AND I'D KEEP TYPING IN ALL CAPS JUST TO MAKE MY POINT IF IT WASN'T SO ANNOYING TO READ!!

:pregnant::cheerteam:

This news is like the biggest rush of positive fresh air. You did it!!! You're going to have your boy!!! SO wonderful!!

Funny as this sounds I had been thinking of my little xy as yours someday if you wanted it :) and used to wonder if we looked anything alike. LOVE that you've got your own little xy baking along all happy and snug.

Hope you're over the moon whenever you think of this. Even the tough days, the long days, when work sucks or the kids don't listen….you have this feeling, this comfort, this satisfaction. Love every second!!
