I just got a call from my doctor who is helping me with fertility stuff. After months of my thyroid hormones going wildly up and down, it seems that they are stabilizing in a relatively normal state. I do feel pretty good - not lethargic, and not super hyped up. For a change. Apparently this should help my anti-depressant work better too.
And then, you know I've been trying to get pregnant . . . Well they did this test thing to see if my eggs are any good (expecting that they'd be losing viability because I'm 39). But the test shows that my eggs are dandy! Unusually healthy for my age, apparently. Sorry if that's TMI, but I'm just so relieved! So now I'm cleared for some minor fertility related medical interventions, and I'm gonna go for it this month! Wish me luck.
Also, to have a realistic plan B in place, my husband and I have started talking to adoption agencies. And to tell the truth, I'm really excited about that, too! We're thinking about adopting from Nepal, or South Korea. It seems like an exciting adventure to adopt, so I think I win either way!
It's such a relief to be thinking positively about this lately. For years I've been in this negative self-hate spiral about what a crappy mother I'd be and how I deserved all these problems, etc.
Just wanted to share.
