Hello Try not to worry too much about your thyroid results. There may be just a slight abnormality and medication can easily fix it if that is the case.

Thanks Bec, I'm really trying not to worry

Bec, I found out I have hypothyroidism when my cycle was getting jacked up when TTC with this one. I Didn't know that I wasn't supposed to ttc until my thyroid was in check. It can cause m/c and birth defects so hold off. I just take a little pill every morning at 5 a.m then go back to bed. It's a lifetime thing but not horrible. The longest thing is trying to make sure you have the right dosage. They will have you test it like every 6-8 weeks I think. They wanted me to start and .25 but I decided to go start at .50 so I could go up or down and not mess with it for 6 months of .50 worked perfectly. The other possibility is having your thyroid removed but that's not that common I think.

LOL! on the names Hobber! You guys can use Carrigan if you want to. I think looking at girl names you like can ease the blow a bit.

I am the proud auntie again tonight. My fraternal twin sister had her 1st boy tonight. 9.5 lbs 21 3/4" long. Sounds strong and healthy. Praise the Lord!

Iluv, congrats on your healthy baby nephew!
Oh I know about the risks of hypo/hyperthyroidism, I was just saying to MFC that there might only be small abnormalities that aren't actually defined as hypo/hyperthyroidism, if that makes senses? In the past I have been borderline hyperthyroidism, I just have regular monitoring. Anyway, glad to hear your thyroid is now under control

WOW - World of Warcraft and it's an extremely popular online game on the computer. I love Angry Birds. I've triple starred all of angry birds and rio but some of the Holiday ones are hard. I can't triple star the 1st 1-1 on the Valentine level. DH works for Nvidia and loves his job! He gets to go to most of the cool trade shows. I got to go to the last night of ComicCon (not the show) but did get to stay in a suite at the Hard Rock Cafe that was cool.

He's played WOW since the Beta so it had been years and he's moved on to something else. He stopped after DS2 died and hasn't really been on much. He goes in cycles and like the World of Tanks.

Kris,
I think that's great about the ticker. Nothing wrong with wishful thinking.

Thanks everyone on the name. It's different which is cool. it's ok if you don't like it, I know it's not common.

So he did not play Cata yet? It's cool he should try it LOL Im also playing for years on and off.

Hi Ladies! Hope you're all doing well

I've been away for a few days, My keyboard stopped working so I got a new one today.
Yesterday was my Due date and I feel so sad .... still not pregnant and last week I saw my OB/GYN. She tested my thyroid levels so they called me saying I need to follow up with Dr. They won't give me results over the phone. I'm scared ..because they told me that they won't call me unless if there is something.

I hope it's nothing big! FX!

Lola -im sorry for the bfn...I can understand your DH of course he want a biological child because he do not have any.
But you do have to so it is easier for you to go with a donor. I thought you want another baby so your DH will have a bio baby too.
I hope at least the IUI would work out!! The IVF is just so much money omg!
And don't worry about crazy dreams we all have some. I just had a dream last night I had a baby at home and it was a c/s but here in the living room! And i saw the baby was very cute looked like DD4 and of course it was a girl. That's not enough MIL walked in to she came visit us! omg...
This was already my second girl dream...Im thinking it's a sign I should stop because I get another girl for sure.

Thanks, Flava. I'm REALLY hoping we get a lucky miracle natural pregnancy, you have no idea how much I hope this happens. Thinking about financing IVF just makes me freak out. Infertility is really a huge giant nightmare. I hope everyone here, despite wanting a boy so badly, realizes that being able to have a baby at all is such an incredible blessing. On the other infertility site I'm on now, you can't even mention a pregnancy, m/c, or child without a bold disclaimer ahead of your comment. It is really heartbreaking. And I am actually one of the luckier ones. There are so many women there who have DH's with ZERO sperm, and they have to do these super complicated IVFs where they surgically extract one from the testes, and lots of them just use donor sperm. They have been ttc for 5 years, stuff like that. There are a lot of DHs on there also. Anyway, just a shot of perspective for us all. (:

But we are just going with the flow right now. I'm trying to gather research about IVF, etc, and just starting the process rolling with gaining info. We haven't even had RE appts yet or anything, but I feel like it's best to keep the faith and keep trying and also start thinking about alternative options. I just don't know how we'll pay for it, but I have to keep the faith about that one also. God willing, we'll find a way.

Flava, don't YOU give up, though. Dreams mean nothing....there is no reason to think you can't conceive a boy at all!!!!
