Both me and DH went for our preliminary infectious diseases blood work last week. It all came back negative. In addition I had some other things checked and now I am low on vitamin D, anemic and borderline for sugar. My thyroid levels were all normal.
TSH - 1.2 (normal 0.4-2)
Free T4 - 1.09 (normal 0.76-1.46)
VitD25 Hydroxy - 22 (normal 25-80)
Hemoglobin A1C - 6.0 (normal 3.5-5.9)
TIBC - 28 (normal 28-170)
Ferritin - 5.3 (normal 11-307)
I need to watch what I eat and also eat lots of iron rich foods. I am also on supplements for vitamin D and iron. Hope the sugar thing was the side effect from eating unhealthy during the holiday season.
I finished my first month on bcp's and started my bleed over the weekend. It has been really heavy and I feel tired and drained all the time. I start the second round of bcp's today for another 4 weeks and then start my IVF cycle. I hate being on bcps's and because of the clinic's busy schedule I have to be on it for 2 months. I get crazy mood swings, I cry a lot and feel depressed and since I do not have anyone to talk to that just adds to this. The only thing that keeps me going is my daughter. She gives me such precious hugs and kisses and told me this morning that I am her baby. I hope that I don't hurt her in my quest of another child.

Know what you mean about being on the Pill... I hate it !! Was on it for over a month recently then they told me 2 days ago that I needed to go back on it !! FXd for your cycle. You're daughter sounds adorable... the comments our little girl makes always warm my heart too. I worry about hurting her in my quest... it's such a hard balance. Love to you always xoxo
PS. I've taken my blog public again today... so it will be much easier to follow from now on :)) xo
Your daughter sounds so precious. I think kids are very forgiving, and she's young enough that having a Mummy who is temporarily distracted and/or sadder than usual won't leave a lasting impact.
Glad to know the bloods were generally fine. It's good to have those out of the way.
If you need to talk things out, come leave any questions/thoughts on my blog!

I just started down the IVF path and finished up my blood work last week. We are heading in for a mock and DH another SA tomorrow! Good luck and I am sure to visit again!
I struggle with that all the time -- am I hurting my daughter with my obsession (because let's face it, for me it is) to have another child. Now 3 miscarriages later, I am still at a loss. I do feel like at times during the cycle I wasn't as "there" as I needed to be. Last night she asked me where her sibling was (not in a mean way, just wanting to claim one of her friends as one) and I almost said in heaven.
It's hard not to struggle with a whole series of emotions. I hope this next round of BCPs goes fast. And it does seem like we might be cycling together again...
Good luck!
To bear a child is a great fulfillment in every couple's life. If you are finding it difficult to get pregnant, you may consider trying the IVF process of conception.
