TTC Girl Advice Needed and Much Appreciated
Hello ladies! So glad to find this forum! I have been on IG site, but this site seems to have more information on this one and I hope some of you ladies can share you wisdom with me.
Here is my situation:
I am 37 and my DH is 40. We have 4 sons who are 12, 10, 5 & 3, so a DD is my pink dream! We have been TTC for over a year and a half, swaying most of the time but not strictly. I have Graves disease and had my thyroid taken out in 2003, so I am currently on 175mcg of Synthroid per day. Thinking my levels were off I had blood drawn a few weeks ago and I am extremely anemic with a 7.9, Vit D deficient with a level of 4 and my TSH was a 1. So my level of Synthroid was adjusted to 188mcg on the 7th day of the week, on 50,000ui of Vit D twice a week (100,000ui), and on Folitab 500 which has Vit C and Follic Acid in it as well.
I am extremely tired of course and sickly, so my question is, sickness is supposed to sway girl right? Should these levels sway girl or no? Should the levels get back to normal before we can even get pregnant?
Should I be adding the magnesium and calcium citrates, and other minerals on top of all the meds I am already on?
Since I am 37 and DH is 40 which should we try frequent DTD or a cut off or both or 0+12?
How does an Ovulation Monitor fit in to the girl swaying? I have a CBE that I just got last cycle that showed my surge at cd20, when I thought I was getting +OPKS at cd14 or cd 15. We are BDing too early I think and stopping before I got close to O maybe. Anyways, any advice on how to incorporate the monitor would be helpful since it was very expensive. I think there might be a thread, but I have searched and not found it yet?
I am BBT charting, checking my CM and cervix, just bought a Diva cup size 2 and have also purchases the Replens to lower PH. I have a PH in the 4-5 range already or I did last time I checked it.
I was thinking we would DTD through O using the Replens and the diva cup, but maybe that is a bad idea? I am on CD15 now, so if you can help me figure out any information on all these items or questions, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
I know this is a long post and so am thankful you took a moment to read it. Please respond if you can. I am so confused....
