I might have thyroid problems and I’m kinda freaking out!

So I just went to the dr. for a check up since I hadn’t been in a while. And I had a few things to ask the dr. About anyway so I figured I should go. Well by the end of it all now I have to go get blood work done and get an ultrasound of my uterus. Cause my dr. Thinks I may have thyroid problems! I wasn’t ready for that!!! 🙁 my symptoms that I wanted to ask her about were...

1. This red itchy rash have had on my stomach that showed up when I got pregnant in 2016 and I just figured it was cause I was pregnant and it would go away. It has come and gone (or I just don’t notice it) but it’s still there.

2. My periods are so much worse now after being pregnant. Day 2 and 3 I have awful cramps and dime to nickel size blood clots. Almost every time I go to the bathroom. And for some reason Day 5 has been fine. Then Day 6 goes back to being awful like day 2 and 3. Day 6 and 7 are back down to light.

As soon as she said thyroid I laughed a little and told her that my mom was actually just diagnosed with hyperthyroidism within the last few years. I was ok at the dr. Office. But as soon as I got in the car my mind started wondering and freaking out a little. “What does that mean?! What will have to do to fix it?!” And prob the main reason I’m freaking out is I’m afraid it’s going to affect my fertility. 😢 and my husband and I had planned on trying for another baby starting in June. Which finding all this out before we start trying is prob for the best. But still I can’t help but worry I may never have another baby. 😭

I know I’m probably over reacting but I do that sometime. And I was just not expecting thyroid problems could be the issue. I told my husband last night how I was worried and he was as calm and levelheaded as always and told me everything will be ok. I don’t know what I would do without him. ❤️

So are there any of you ladies out there thyroid problems with any advice? Or any thoughts of something else it could be? Is it still possible and ok to get pregnant if it’s thyroid problems? Everything I ready online made it seem like it would be pretty easy to get everything under control but still have have no idea what is really going on I don’t know what to think. I just keep making myself pray about it all. Please pray for me! 🙏🏻
