Default My friend's story...(pg and m/c mentioned)

Hi, Good Luck on starting your TTC. 35 is a great age. I think the
main thing is to get your early cycle blood tests (CD1 - CD3). They
will let the doctor know what your egg reserve and Thyroid levels look
like. A sperm analysis for your dh and a timed ultrasound would also not hurt.

I have a friend who could not concieve despite her fsh, lh,
testosterone, and e2 levels were normal. Then the doctor tested her T4 and TSH
levels and discovered that she was suffering from hypothyroidism. She
then conceived after three months of normal levels. She miscarried due
to low progesterone levels and clotting disorder. She again conceived
6 months later. Her pregancy was maintained after taking metformin,
baby aspirin, and progesterone supplements. Finally after almost 2
years, she was able to hold her baby boy in her arms.
