Hi All, Thanks so much for your advice on reducing stress. I really appreciate some of the suggestions.
I just looked at my bloodwork this morning and after all this work with the Endocrinologist, and waiting 3 months to resume treatments, my TSH is back up AGAIN to 6. I am waiting to hear from my doc but I know I will be cancelled again. In fact, I think I am canceling myself. I can't spend all that money and time knowing that my body wouldn't accept a pregnancy if there was one. Ugh - this is so frustrating. Time is of the essence and I cannot seem to get this one component to cooperate.
My FSH wasn't too bad, though - 8.4./Estradiol 64
Thanks again.

Thank you.
Well, I am waiting to hear from the endocrinologist to see but I had just increased my dosage of Levothroid and my TSH levels were normal 4 weeks ago. So they should have been even lower this check, not higher. So I will wait to hear from her, and then hopefully resume the IUI cycle next month if things get in order, but I know that is a long shot.
I just bought a sweater that I'd been coveting and couldn't buy because this cycle was going to be so expensive. So, that was kinda fun but I would much prefer to get this ball rolling. Ugh!
