Hyperthyroidism

A while ago I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. So my metabolism and hormones are off due to it. I'm especially tired these days, dealing with a goiter that changes sizes in my throat constantly which also makes me feel yucky sometimes, and sometimes I get tachycardia. I can't wait to be mediacted or worse surgery. I'm constantly asked when I'm gonna have another baby and it saddens me because right now that's not possible and it may never happen again. Praying it does and I'm not giving up on the possibility. Also, losing weight isn't a possibility right now either.

So, I'm patiently (not so much) waiting for my appointment May 6th with an endocrinologist to see what the next step is, which I was told from my MD it could be just medication or possibly surgery..especially because of the goiter. We'll see...hopefully its strictly good news in the future.

Don't take having a baby for granted. Even if you have one already don't assume having another will be easy. I have two close relatives and a best friend that is struggling and going through fertility treatments. I am very thankful for Alanna and really cherish the little moments with her at this age because I'm not sure I'll share that again with anyone else.

Hopeful, 
Stephanie
