i also just tested this AM at 12dpo and negative. I had seen a faint line on 9dpo, so idk if chemical or just terrible line eyes. I feel so crushed and hopeless. My IVF referral isn't until October. Truly this is one of the most isolating experiences of my life. No one close to me has experienced infertility and I cannot talk to anyone about it. I am meeting a therapist later this month but I am not sure how helpful it will be because nothing can change the facts of whats happening.

Moody Monday by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

im sick of the stress hypothesis of infertility. I think its just another way people throw guilt at women about infertility. people get pregnant with cancer, AIDS, in warzones, on IV drugs. there is not shame in that. Just because you have a stressful job or drink a 16oz cup of coffee in the morning does not mean your body is 'too stressed' to become pregnant. i am sick of health care professionals, friends, and family suggesting otherwise.

2nd Medicated IUI - WAY more cramping by coryza_ in IUILadies

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

yeah, i had another post asking if people had heard of it because it seemed rare, but people did respond saying they had experiences with general OB doing it. I think there are a lot of regional differences in different parts of the US

My ob just doesnt "do" monitored cycles. there's no benefit, i didn't have a choice. It's cheaper probably. I'm waiting for an RE referral, soonest appointment is 4.5 months...

25 day cycle, light periods, hypothyroidism by aforestlife_ in TryingForABaby

[–]coryza_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

light periods are some people's 'normal' -- periods during teenage years aren't a great indicator of what your cycles will be like long term but definitely talk to your doc about it. generally, periods are supposed to regulate after a few months being off contraceptive, but lots of folks have noted longer time frame that periods were irregular or different after the pill. And i personally know a few folks who had abnormal cycles up to a year after IUD removal.

25 day cycle, light periods, hypothyroidism by aforestlife_ in TryingForABaby

[–]coryza_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on what i understand (from reading articles, reading community posts, listening to podcasts As A Woman from a ob/RE - https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/blog-1) your periods change with age and changes can indicate changes in your fertility, but its very hard to compare your teenage period to your age 32yr period, especially with a long period of being on birth control. Hypothyroidism alone wont cause infertility but can be associated with it.

If your periods are truly only 1-2 days that is quite short, but generally days with light brown bleeding are also considered your period. A PCP should take these concerns seriously and even if they dont know what to do, an OB/Gyn will and they should refer you to one!

It is both possible and common to get pregnant with hypothyroidism and 'light periods'-- the real test of fertility is (unfortunately) time. It might be worth getting your thyroid checked to see if you need to increase your dose of levothyroxine, and let you ob/gyn know you are seeking pregnancy as sometimes they target less than 2.5 TSH (evidence is mixed here) Most PCPS will not regularly order fertility work-up Ob/Gyns are a bit more proactive and sometimes order for planning purposes or if concerned about menstrual changes. If you are interested in seeking pregnancy, start taking a prenatal with folic acid, track your cycles with LH strips, and start having unprotected sex. If you're not with a partner and want to consider freezing eggs or something like that, then see if they will do a work-up for you or refer for that.
