Waiting to sway again after loss and feeling down

Please keep us posted because I think this is a very important topic that is affecting a lot of women.

I will, atomic. Hoping to see another Dr. tomorrow evening.

I saw the doctor and he ordered a retest of my TSH and free T4. Got the results tonight. TSH 1.87, very normal. I am happy all seems to be well.
Somewhat mixed feelings because I do wish there could have been an obvious reason for my losses with such an easy solution. But I am accepting this as good news that I can TTC again.
The only bad part is I will be ovulating in 4 days so no time to sway much.
I will lose whatever little weight I can, try rephresh 12h before having a single attempt, and have been using saw palmetto. That will have to do. Hope it all works out and I get my rainbow baby girl this cycle.

What thyroid symptoms do you think you were having? After my loss I thought I was having symptoms of low thyroid as well-- freezing all the time, exhausted, napping daily, brain fog, feeling depressed, yawning constantly, shortness of breath when doing simple things around the house, etc. My mom has thyroid issues and so do two of her brothers so I saw an endocrinologist. Turns out my thyroid was completely normal (they even did a thyroid ultrasound), but my ferritin (iron stores) was extremely low and causes the same symptoms. Ferritin is not normally tested, you have to ask. It's a simple blood test. You can have normal hemoglobin and hematocrit, but low ferritin. So I was iron deficient, not anemic. My ferritin level was 8 and ideal is 70-90!!! It's been 18 months since my miscarriage and I've been on high dose prescription iron ever since (150mg three times a day) and my ferritin is still only at 46. Iron deficiency can cause poor egg quality so it may have played a role in my miscarriage. I also found out I am homozygous for the MTHFR mutation which also is known to cause repeat losses so now I take baby aspirin three times a week. You can ask to be tested for that as well since it's also a blood test. LE diet for 9 months (cutting back on red meat), extremely heavy periods, and then my miscarriage most likely contributed to my extremely low iron. I just saw a GYN doctor yesterday and she actually wants me to not have a period for the next month or two to see if I can build up my iron stores. She prescribed me norethindrone acetate which is a progesterone pill.

Oh, and my best friend has two boys, swayed for a girl, had three losses in a year, gave up swaying, and then got pregnant with a girl! So it is possible and we definitely believe the losses were her biggest sway factor. Her baby girl was born on Saturday and I was her doula!

Wow essnce, how are you feeling now?
I have major fatigue, hair loss, cold intolerance, poor memory and concentration, rough dry skin, low basal temp (average well below 36.5C), low mood, the list goes on. I actually began complaining of symptoms at 14 and now at 31 I still experience it.
I wonder if the Dr tested my iron stores, I must look at the requisition to see.
Years ago I was told my B12 was low normal, and since it's such a huge range that could be causing my symptoms. So I get a monthly B12 injection. I have temporarily put that on hold for swaying pink to decrease overall nutrients. (Since it takes years to deplete B12 stores it should be safe.)
The B12 never made a big difference, so I wonder if it could be an iron issue.

Nope, he didn't test for ferritin, B12, folate... Nothing like that.

Hair loss is also super common with low ferritin. I've read your ferritin needs to be above 50 for hair regrowth. Luckily hair loss wasn't one of my symptoms. I'm still tired all the time (I napped from 10am to 2:25pm today and almost missed picking my kids up from school) but it's a little better as in I'm not napping the entire weekend like I was before. I am no longer freezing all the time or out of breath when doing chores around the house. I am also not yawning every 5 minutes like I was before.

Oh, and make sure they test your vitamin D and magnesium levels as well. Before swaying, I took both of these daily but stopped for my sway. A year later my vitamin D was low (not deficient probably because I always had good levels before) and my magnesium was deficient. I was on high dose vitamin D for about 3 months to get my level back up (endocrinologist wanted it close to 100) and now I take it twice a week during the TWW only. The magnesium I am taking daily again and my levels have been back in the normal range every test.

I will keep it in mind for sure. I always took 2000IU bit D daily, and Mg in my multivitamin. I stopped for my sway. Hopefully I will have a bfp two weeks from now and can start back on them right away.

I feel your pain. After 6 years of CPS, i got a surprise bfp--and it was a perfect little girl even tho Im 39. I then got an amnio infection at 17 weeks that went unnoticed and my water broke and she died. I felt her last breath struggle when the placenta pulled away and that was the worst thing ever. after that I had a medical tragedy of errors and 8 weeks after my loss, I am finally not in the hospital or on antibiotics. We get to try again 3 months after my blood work comes back normal, but it's not there yet.

So yes, I REALLY feel your pain. Know you aren't alone. Hugs.
