HSG and Underactive Thyroid

My blood work results from Monday are still slowly trickling in. On Wednesday afternoon, I got a call telling me that my TSH levels came back high. Anything .4-5 is considered normal, and ideally, they want it around 2 for TTC. Mine came back at 8.02. I had no idea I had a thyroid issue as I have no symptoms, but I'm on medication now to try to lower those levels and they'll recheck the level in 4-6 weeks.


Then, yesterday, I had my HSG. It sucked. The pain wasn't unbearable, but it was pretty bad. I hope I don't ever have to do that again. The radiologist said that my right tube is clear, but he couldn't tell if my left one was. My left tube is the one I had surgery on, so it would make sense if it's blocked. I won't know his definite assessment until my RE gets the results and gives me a call.


So, for now, I'm just waiting for them to receive the rest of my blood work and the HSG results. At that point, we'll be able to schedule a consultation to discuss our next steps. My guess is that we'll have to hold off on any treatment cycles until my TSH levels are lower. We'll see.

Testing Has Begun

My initial consult with the RE was on June 24th, but since I was mid-cycle at that point, I needed to wait until my period started to begin all of the testing. We made sure to schedule H's SA while we were waiting, though. He had the SA on July 3rd, and from the looks of it, everything seems to be within the normal range.


I started a new cycle last Friday, so yesterday (CD 4), I went in for blood work and an ultrasound. The doctor said that everything looked great with my ultrasound, so that was good news. The only labs that are back at this point are FSH and Estradiol, and both were in the normal range.


Tomorrow, I need to go back to the RE's for a pregnancy test because my HSG is Thursday. I'm still a nervous wreck about getting the HSG done, but I'm excited that by late Thursday morning, that part will be done. Then, we can schedule an appointment with the RE to go over all of the test results and come up with a plan.


I'm ready to get this show on the road at this point.
