Atomic please help with 2 loss

Thank you. I read about something called ICSI (where Sperm is chosen and Injected into egg) and it favors more girls vs normal ivf favors more boys conceived.
Do you know which one y’all did?

Yup, those are all classic hypo signs. A normal level by updated norms is roughly a TSH of .5-3, and levels for TTC should be under 2.

Yes you take the Coq10 and if you can get ubiquinol form of that, it may be better.

I can't tell if those symptoms are from pregnancy or your thyroid, but what I do know is that it's GREAT they've figured this out and can now medicate you. Thyroid issues can cause harm during pregnancy and it's imperative that those are treated. it sounds like you're in good hands!

Oh and please do run ALL supplements past not only your doctor but also the pharmacist who is filling your prescription. Many supplements will interact with medication and should not be combined so it may be that some of the things many others take will not be appropriate for you.

You will also need to consult about iodine in your prenatals as not everyone with thyroid problems can take iodine.

Sorry to jump in here but I feel I have to.
The process of IVF is long. There are months of testing on both you and your partner. The questions your asking can really only be answered by these tests and even then not 100% (Eg your AMH number , your age and hobbies sperm analysis). You will never know how many eggs you'll get nor how many will make it to day 5 and then that are left healthy female until you try.
As for chromosomal issues... you cannot ever rule that out without the PGS testing.
Swaying is a great option.. but you will never know baby is chromosomal perfect until the harmony test or what have you during pregnancy.
We've done both options successfully. I had my daughter through swaying and lost another daughter at 20 weeks after successfully swaying. It's consumed the last 2 years of my.life.
After that we did IVF. Had a very successful round and got lucky. 21 eggs fertalized, 11 frozen. Only 1 boy embryo the 6 rest female. I am now pregnant with my daughter. BUT I do have a high AMH, no other issues and hubby sperm is perfect. This makes a difference but There a no guarantee on genders at all.

it was obviously a huge gamble for us and wasn't easy mental, physically or financially on us. It is a lot. It's a long road.

You and your partner need to both be on board and be completely ready and serious that is the right decision for your family.

Best of luck no matter what you decide. [emoji4]

Hi mama bird, we are about to start injections for ivf and my dr said he thinks I’d probably get 20 eggs...but Pretty sure he means total and not mature eggs.
I know you said you had 21 fertilized but how many did they get from you after retrieval? Or were all 21 of yours mature?
