Hiccups in the Plan

So we found out that my thyroid is working too hard so I technically I have a hypothyroid. This was a small bump in the road but the doctor told us that we can't transfer the embryos in until we have the thyroid under control.

So of course, my mind is going a hundred miles in all different directions.
How long does that take? When can I get in to see the doctor? What does this mean?

So I call to make an appointment and they can't get me in until August 1st and I was told it will take 6 weeks to regulate my thyroid. GRRRR....

But I called daily and someone cancelled (Thank you God!) So now I'm on thyroid medicine and have an appointment in 6 weeks to make sure the medicine is working.
The doctor explained that if my thyroid isn't functioning it's best then it can cause miscarriages (don't want that) and the baby can have a lower IQ (don't want that either)!!
This is a pill I won't be forgetting.

On the IVF battlefront, I have received all medications and went to learn how to give myself shots. Which terrifies me! I know I can do it but I'm kind of nervous.


So I have stopped my birth control pill. The birth control was kind of keeping my body on hold until the doctor is ready to start controlling my body. The shots will start on Friday!!

Also, Our Donor (we call her Amanda) started her period so she is starting her medications and she will be getting her estimated egg retrieval on July 31st!!!!
