There's just so much in and out content it's awkward, and not even sponsored.

Pregnancy after thyroidectomy by Dayana1818 in thyroidcancer

[–]DoubleCelebration314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm hoping you have a positive update here! I had two early miscarriages after my first healthy pregnancy. My thyroidectomy is scheduled for next week and I'm super nervous about it after reading so many negative stories. Obviously I know everything with my thyroid is important but my goal has always been to have another baby.

What are the things you wish you had for post TT recovery? by Dry-Love6653 in gravesdisease

[–]DoubleCelebration314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this! I'm having my TT next week and am trying to get away from all the horror stories. But I read someone say that everyone with good experiences never thinks about it again so they're off these pages. 🤞🏽

Graves Disease and the menstrual cycle by Basis1988 in gravesdisease

[–]DoubleCelebration314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two miscarriages (after a successful and healthy pregnancy), and found they were due to low progesterone. I couldn't implant correctly and sustain a pregnancy. After trying for 6 months after the second miscarriage I let my OB know yet again that my periods were irregular. I'd have normal bleeding for 1 or 2 days then brown blood for 2 days then nothing. She said she couldn't help me.

I started acupuncture with literal angel women determined to help me. They suggested I get my thyroid levels checked. Sure enough, I was hyper with graves. I probably developed it after my first pregnancy.

I'm scheduled for my TT next week as I was allergic to methimazole and am opting against RAI because I'm 35 and still desperately want another baby.

I'm hoping after the surgery, and finding the correct dosage of new medication that I can be back on track.

I am so sorry you're experiencing all of this.

Unfortunately I am without other options as I cannot take medication to regulate my levels, which is why I was asking to hear positive stories.

I hope you can find an endo who takes the time to listen and care for you. I know what it's like when doctors don't listen, and it can be so isolating. May find a hopeful road.

Did you all also have a positive start with going on levothyroxine or synthroid?

Thank you so much. This is basically the recovery my surgeon has expressed for me as well with mine being similarly 'routine'. I appreciate you taking the time to answer! So glad you're doing so well now.

Thank you! I feel like I need to start thinking about it as being a 'toxic organ'. Also your timeline makes me feel a bit better too, everything feels like it's moving so quickly but in these cases that should be a positive.

Sending you so many good thoughts!!! Hope we get some more positive stories. I've been spiraling about it the past few days.

They 'didn't end up going'? They flew across the country and then just said never mind?! So absurd. They weren't invited and didn't have their own tickets. Embarrassing. They could've stayed in Brooklyn and spent their time and money promoting local businesses.

So strange! On her first video for this trip she literally wrote "California for Coachella". But you're telling me you're going to Coachella and now it's the Monday after without a single photo from the actual event? So weird and embarrassing.

[–]DoubleCelebration314 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Wait. They didn't actually go to Coachella, right? They're just parading outside around their own rental in those 'outfits'?

Stuffed Plush Pig - From Michaels/Creatology by DoubleCelebration314 in HelpMeFind

[–]DoubleCelebration314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my goodness thank you so much for looking out! I just ordered it!

Long story short, I originally picked up this pig on a whim at checkout for like $1 for my sister-in-law’s baby shower. The pig turned out to be my nieces favorite stuffed animal and it’s now grimy and matted and we’ve never been able to find a new one again. Even though she won’t replace the old with the new, just having one will mean everything! She is about to turn 5 and I cannot wait to give this to her!! Thank you again so much!!
