Things that make me feel great about my sway:

The HE was second nature after living it for so long. Never felt better in my life, just felt fat but very fertile!

Things that make me nervous about my sway:

EVERYTHING!

Things worth mentioning:

Had two miscarriages in the course of 24months TTC. Finally found a doctor to help with my thyroid issue, (Synthroid did NOT help, made matters worse). Once I got on a natural thyroid supplement I got prego a few weeks later!

HUGE CONGRATS Adia! So happy for you!

Can I ask what your "natural thyroid supplement" is?

Anchor, my friend got me into Nature's Sunshine supplements. I have had great success with them. Almost all my vitamins and supplements come from them. Since I am a regular I get cash back often too. I think its a good deal.

I took Synthroid for a long time but my teeth got loose, my period got to be big clots, I couldn't get prego, etc. So I stopped. That didn't go well either. My hair started falling out in handfuls, etc. I took "Thyroid Activator" AND "Thyroid Support" from Nature's Sunshine and got prego about 3 weeks after starting those. I weened off of Thyroid Activator and just take Thyroid Support now. I wouldn't go back to Synthroid ever.

I have implemented some of the Nature's Sunshine supplements for DD1 and DD2 and have also had great success. They both still take prescription meds for their issues, but I feel like using the natural supplements keeps the prescriptions to a minimum. I would rather they not take any meds, but life without their meds is miserable for all of us.

Hope that helps my dear!

Thank you my friends for all the well wishes! It is still so surreal.
My morning sickness seems to be getting worse, not better so that is grounding me quite a bit!

[maidentomother]

Wow, what a fantastic sway! Congratulations

Can I ask what dose synthroid you were on before, and how much of each of the 2 natural supplements you now take daily? Do you know if you have Hashimoto's? I'm wondering if DF would do better on these supps since synthroid doesn't seem to do enough for him.
