A diagnosis..
About a month ago I posted about being a month late and continuing to get negative test results. I finally went to my gynecologist at my two month late mark and he confirmed that I was not pregnant and took several vials of blood. I went last week for the follow up to my blood work plus an ultrasound to check my ovaries, trying to find why my period didn't come. Everything came back clear and normal EXCEPT for my thyroid levels. I have now been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. He mentioned that not having it under control could cause miscarriage. I went home and did my own research and learned that it can cause miscarriage, birth defects, and even fertility issues if not kept under control. He has offered to give me medication to help my husband and I conceive after my levels are straightened out, but just the thought of taking any medicine to help get pregnant for the first time at 22 makes me feel broken and incompetent. I feel like I can't do the one thing that I've always dreamed of doing, and I hate seeing the hurt in my husband's eyes telling him no and now telling him we have to put ttc to the side.. :(
