I completed my month of hormone testing, and the results have come back in: very low Vitamin D, abnormal thyroid hormones, and abnormal progesterone levels. I won't even begin to act as though I understand what all was said to me regarding these problems. I only know that something is amiss with my thyroid hormones, and although my total number comes back within the normal range, one of the numbers is lower than it should be with another level making up for that deficiency. With my progesterone, I have a much slower rise in progesterone than I should. I'm not exactly sure what this entails, but I think it's questionable as to whether or not I'm ovulating every month.
I have further testing to determine what is causing my thyroid problems (e.g., cortisol/stress?). Also, I will begin progesterone supplements this month. If the progesterone supplementation doesn't work, then we will try the sonograms with hcg supplementation after three months.
Thank you for your continued prayers. I think they are really helping with my having a more peaceful attitude regarding this sub/infertility. Praying for all those who are struggling with the same.
I'm sorry your levels are wacky, but it's great that you're getting some answers! Praying for you :)
ReplyDeleteI know the issues sound monstrous and insurmountable, but trust me - it's a good thing they're finding this stuff out. At least you'll be able to get some answers...hopefully soon!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with the testing. I am always happy when they find something because there is good chance they can fix it.
ReplyDeleteWhats going on with your thyroid and cortisol now?
