TSH

Well it is a good thing I'm overly cautious with my TSH levels.  I went to my GP yesterday to have my thyroid panel run, and sure enough my TSH level has gone from 0.9 to 6.5!  Yikes!  That is the highest I've ever been!  Even when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto my TSH level was just a smidgen out of range.  It has always been my antibodies that were insane (3725 - 5750 and normal level is 250 or under).

It was great getting to tell my Dr why I was in there so early to have my thyroid panel (wasn't due for another 3 months).  He was thrilled!  You should have seen the smile on his face!  He said to me though at 6 weeks it's probably too early for the pregnancy to have affected your TSH by much.  Well guess what we'z was wrong!  The nurse is calling in a new prescription for me now.

I'm guessing this is why I've been having dizzy spells and possibly the headaches.  I don't know it could be pregnancy related or tsh?!?!  Who knows!  But let me tell you I am a little happy to know my TSH was out of whack.  I know it sounds rather silly, but it just reassures me there is something going on in my body, upsetting it's balance!  What is that you ask!  Oh that's right!  It's a bebe!  Or as JD refers to it a SweetPea!

I've written about 3 posts this week and posted none of them!  I have been so sick this week.  I got smacked with the Flu bug this week.  Today is the first day I have felt human.  And now I'm back to worrying.  We have 6 more days until the u/s.  6 more days of angst and worry.  6 more days of fretting about there being a heartbeat.  6 more days of utter frustration.  I really wish I had x-ray vision right now!  LOL!  I will tell you this though.  If JD and I make it past this u/s we are going to be in the market for a Doppler!  I will need constant reassurance that this bebe is sticking around. 

Sorry if I seem to be rambling.  TSH fog brain is horrible.  I really should have realized this was going on before this.  I've been messing up sentences, numbers, pretty much having the 'stupids' for about a week now.  I honestly thought it was just because my universe tilted when I got a +.  I thought maybe my mind was taking a little while to come back down to earth.  Guess Not! 

Much Love!

I'm such a DUMMY!!!

I was totally not myself all day yesterday. I had a really bad headache, I couldn't concentrate, I was falling asleep in my chair at work, I just all around felt like crap!!! Sure enough I get home early yesterday afternoon, and sitting right beside my bed is my little yellow pill that keeps me well.... F#*K!!!! I take my thyroid meds every morning at 5:30 am. I can't believe I forgot!!! So I took it right away, hoping that it won't screw up my levels too bad.

Anyone who's reading this is probably thinking to themselves, no big deal it won't mess you up too bad... Wrong!!! Today I'm like a freaking zombie. I've got the brain fog going on, I'm making stupid errors at work, I can feel every bone and muscle in my body... I feel like I'm 80 years old! You know I thought I would have been fine today too! But I just feel ick!!! Oh well, I'm back on track now so tomorrow will be better!

I also started my bcp yesterday, so now I'm waiting to be contacted by the coordinator to contact me once the donor's cycle has been induced! Woot! Woot! I know it's still a ways away, but I can't help getting a little excited.
