My first post.

I was diagnosed with Hashi-Basedow late last year with a tendency towards hypothyroidism. We have been trying for about 2 years. I will be 35 this year. (Gasp!)

I have tried different things : trying with the calendar, without it, obsessing about it, ‘forgetting’ about it, winging it, praying about it, dreaming about it, etc etc.

My periods can be irregular. This year though they have been more predictable.

5 Feb (31 days)

10 Mar (29 days)

11 Apr (27 days)

19 May so far 34 days

I am wondering if this can be IT but I am scared about getting my hopes up. I tested a few times last year, with the same negative result each time, and resolved to spare myself the heartache in future.

My breasts have been achy for the past few days but today they feel fine, and I don’t have that pre-period fat feeling.

Lately I have been less stressed due to a professional change and I have been doing some real exploring about new ventures. I am also trying running again.

I know people would say ‘just test’, but I am hoping for others to share their experiences and give advice?

Many thanks!
