Secondary IF

New here

hi, I am not sure if I can join you ladies but you can let me know if I'm not in the right place. I haven't been on the boards in years, but I was an active member for a long time.

I'm 34, have 2 boys 3 & 5 and we have been TTC #3 since March. We saw the RE with our first and conceived after 2.5 years and 2 MC. Our 2nd was conceived 2 weeks after I weaned my 1st and naturally. Now we will be heading back to the RE next month.

I have a bunch of questions for everyone, and I'm trying to read through all posts first. Thanks for having me :)

Re: New here

  • Sounds like you are in the right place. Welcome! Did you have a "diagnosis" with your first? Best of luck

  • Thanks :) I have Hashimoto disease (thyroid autoimmune) and because of that it was taking a very long time to get pregnant, and when I did become pregnant there was a problem with implantation so I had two losses. After I switched RE's they were finally able to get my levels under control, and I got my big guy.
  • I'm glad they got your levels under control. I have Hashi's too, but my levels are regulated. My thyroglobulin antibodies are high, but there's nothing to be done about that. Have you been tested for APS or any other clotting disorder?

  • I haven't been tested for anything since my 1st and I honestly don't remember since its been so long (6yrs). I go to my regular endocrinologist every 6 months, but I've recently been feeling off, sluggish, weight gain. All my levels have been tested and I come in at the normal range but I feel something is just not right. I hope whatever is going on gets figured out quickly, because feeling like this sucks lol.
