So for the past 8-9 months I have been having constantly craving for warm foods and drinks. I would drink warm (not even room temperature) water. I would eat warm foods. After being diagnosed with hypothyroidism two weeks ago and getting medication, I am suddenly a big fan of drinking cold water again. Did this happen to anyone else?
So far I‘ve had two egg retrievals, three failed transfers and one pregnancy that needed to be terminated because HCG levels were not doubling.
I went to my doctor and asked her to check my thyroid and do a hysteroscopy. She checked and was actually surprised to see that the she hasn‘t measured my TSH levels in more than a year. We‘re now discovering that I have hypothyroidism and that my TSH levels are nowhere near the values recommended for pregnancy!
I can‘t help but wonder how many more transfers she would‘ve done before thinking of doing these checks. Or how the previous transfers would‘ve looked like if we had tackled the issue earlier.
Super grateful for this community from which I learned a lot already and who enabled me to self-advocate.
