First post -TTC a tad of disappointment -can anyone relate?
Well my husband and I have been almost married for 2 years and it's been since October 2013 that we have been trying to conceive ( well off and on.. But have been off "the pill.")We noticed a month after we were off "the pill" I wasn't getting my periods and I was not pregnant. We thought it was associated to the stress on planning our wedding and me finishing up my bachelors at the time for the reason behind not getting my periods and or getting pregnant, we consulted with our PCP at the time and were told the potential of having PCOS, it wasn't after the wedding 2014 and a battery of test later that we confirmed I had PCOS. We knew that getting pregnant was not going to be as easy but nonetheless we kept on trying. It wasn't until September 2014 that I started noticing weight gain and some foreign forms of anxiety ( never experienced before), I associated it with the stress of the time ( new job and moving). I consulted with my new PCP and she ran blood work which confirmed Hashimoto's ( a form of hypothyroid ) the news was disappointing ( I had a high chance for the thyroid as it runs in the family) now 30lbs later I feel that we have sexually disconnected and trying to conceive is simply impossible. We are trying to manage my weight but it seems the more I do- nothing happens ...I was fertile / ovulating as per GLOW and we just had sex twice after talking we would make sure to have sex all the days to increase our chances, I'm trying not to put too much stress on the idea as I know it can interfere, I just started monitoring my patterns of ovulation and stuff via GLOW but dear Lordy I can't help but feeling disappointed - any ladies experiencing through any of this?! I am managing my thyroid and I am eating better and excercising, metformin ha been used ( it was discontinued due to the side effects I was experiencing). I have shared this with my husband as far as how I feel it seems as if he's just not listening, he's listening but not hearing me . I know it's not my fault but can't help but feel at fault, can anyone relate?
Sorry for the long post lol
