Hay ladies, I had a great appointment! I wasn't there 5 minutes before my midwife almost drug me down the hall to the u/s room! She quickly found the baby and the heartbeat, I started to cry. We went back to the room and talked a bunch more. She assured me my detachment is completely normal and I shouldn't be surprised if it continues for 4+ weeks past my m/c point. She also said we will do u/s as often as I need in fact I have an appt in 2 wks and then will come back again at 13 weeks! I didn't get a pic but I was able to record the heartbeat on my phone, which she found slightly to the RIGHT side. I'm feeling a little better after seeing my bean but I'm feeling a lot better knowing they will support me in being a complete wreck for a while.

TTC5- PEE ALREADY!!

Oh, 3PNB, I am so excited to hear that!!!!! The u/s are amazing and sounds like your midwife is great. PTL!

Hi guys just a quick update while on break lol I had a bit of light brown discharge so I think I'm out

Iluv where did you read all of that? Do you trust your docs? You can find a myriad of info online you know and not all of it is accurate; I know you know that but sometimes a reminder is helpful. But really, if you don't trust your docs can you call another office for a second opinion perhaps? How long will the meds take to straighten things out such that your thyroid won't be considered "messed up?"

I'm sorry you're so bummed but it is completely understandable

Dr.'s for the most part here, just don't invest much in you or care too much, you know. Sounds like 3PNB and Lola seemed to have great midwives. My friend a couple towns over has a fantastic Dr. but he's too far away and I like the HMO I have for money reasons. They mentioned recently over email I should wait but never said why. Seems like what I found online is correct but the Dr's s/h explained the why and the risks. I would never purposely put my children unborn or otherwise in danger of anything, obviously. I find better info online and on forums then Dr.'s know. They can't possibly continue to study every disease out there as they are just human and most of them quite frankly are cocky and ignorant when it comes to a lot of issues and hardly consider much outside of their box. This is one reason I went w/ the homebirth (a bit of egg on my face w/ that though). Alternative options are amazing for a lot of things, not everything but at least they consider things other than giving drugs.

I really should get off line right now, I'm in a funk.

Sorry, I tried to clear up what I said after you sent this post. The problem is while your thyroid is off that ttc and nursing can be a problem, not when medicated and levels are in w/in normal range. The Dr. said I can't test my levels again until a full 2 months of being on the thyroid meds to determine if they need to change your levels or not. She said any sooner I could test, but she wouldn't be able to determine anything from the tests. My cycle appears to be back to normal so that's a great sign.

IDK, B. I should stop complaining, I just feel like such crap right now and I know things can get worse and I should count my blessings, but now I am in a quandary about ttc. This is not what I thought ttc would be like at all and I've never had health issues before.

lol, you don't close down the threads iluv, for me here and the uk ladies you posted at 4am! And your posts deserve more than the usual 2 word replies like 'oh dear' ''well done' so I know I always wait til a more peaceful time of day like now, 9.50am, kids watching telly with a bit of toast before replying to more serious things.

Where are you in your cycle, you attempted this month didn't you??

Also, want to add that I hope my commentary didn't offend you or anyone either.....I have no idea who this talk show host is but my comment was based on thinking this woman got on the show to bad mouth swaying. I came from the perspective of a woman who is having a hard time getting pg and how irritated it would make me to see someone go on tv of all things to gripe. But yes, Layla, now that you mention that her issues were being distorted by the host and the show, I get what you are saying. Personally, I would never go on a show and talk about anything personal, but that is just my opinion. I do agree with you gals in that everyone has their own issues and demons, and people need to be accepted where they are at. Iluv, thank goodness you didn't go on Dr. Phil, that would have not helped you feel better about the whole situation, I am sure. Or even consider it!

Lola you are great I have not yet disagreed with anything you have said on this forum. I actually meant to say I agree with both your and iluv's comments just wanted to clarify that the woman was not ungrateful for her kids because few other comments were how dare she be ungrateful. Totally agree with you about getting frustrated over getting pregnant and difficulties whether real or possible over it.

I only posted that because I am discovering that swaying is getting a lot of media coverage lately. Now I wish I had not I definitely did not mean to upset anyone.

You look great Tink. I also am really worried about putting on weight for vanity and health reasons. I am also trying to follow atomic's advice and go for atkins like caveman diet with lots of protein: meat, nuts, fish eggs and also fruits and vegetables and eating little to no processed carbs. GL

10dpo today. My chart is totally jacked up do to waking issues from DS and I don't know how to show it to anyone for advice. but my temps r going way down and apparently I read online that getting prego w/ you thyroid messed up can cause slow metal development in you baby, increased m/c, premature delivery....you'd think my Dr. would've actually given me that info. My OB (over email) said I shouldn't but he should have gave me that info instead. I told my GP during original thyroid tests that I was ttc and again she said nothing about not ttc. WTheck??? I hope I don't get a bfp this month and will have to put this off till my thyroid is in check. That's why I'm just so bummed. Seems like everything points to me not supposed to get pregnant again. IDK, really struggling with this. DS2 died for crying out loud, maybe I'm just not supposed to have more kids at all. I'm really going to have to pray about this.

I am so sorry iluv I almost felt guilty showing off that I don't have thyroid issues. It is bad how dr usually tell you stuff only when you ask them otherwise their attitude seems to be just do as I say and you won't need to worry. But usually you do and i always check everything they mention first and then ask them about it. I found that works best get them to do some work for their money. Please don't feel discouraged from ttc just because I was before. If you want to have another baby then you should do your best and try. If it does not work out then maybe thank your stars for what you have and move on, but don't move on without trying first. You have obviously been through the absolute worst. I can't even imagine how you would have felt. I lost my dad when I was young, but loosing a child would be the absolute worst. How cruel can this world be. But if you got through that you can get through anything. Another favourite saying of mine is: Success is not measured by the postition a person is in, it is measured by the obsticles a person has had to overcome to get to where they are. GL you have been trough worse you can get through this.
