i still conceiving for almost 3 years for having a baby..what im going to do?..though i suffer thyroid deficiency...

sis, ask ko lang what thyroid problem mo, if you don'y mind? i used to have grave's disease (toxic goiter) in 2005, nag radiation rin ako noong march 2006. tried getting pregnant in 2007 but had a miscarriage probably hindi pa stable yung tsh, t3, t4 ko.

i came across this supplement CMD (concentrate mineral drops) ihahalo lang sya sa water, nakatulong sya mag normal ang levels ng tsh, t3, t4 ko. almost 2 years na ako euthyroid. (normal level)

i'm still taking euthyrox 100mcg as my maintenance and i also mentioned to my endo that i'm taking cmd, she's not against it.in 2008, we tried to get pregnant again and  by God's blessing, i gave birth just this april.

btw, i don't know kung may relation, pero nag stop ako mag cmd 1 month nung pregnant ako (feeling ko kasi ang dami ko na iniinom), tumaas ulit ang tsh ko, so, uminom na lang ako ulit, together with my pre natal meds. hindi rin ako nagka uti during the pregnancy.

in His time sis, antay mo lang. i wish you well

sis lovely, i also have a thyroid problem. twice i was operated to remove my thyroid gland so ngayon total wala na ako thyroid. that was before i got pregnant. i'm taking eltroxin at high doses pa nga. i think you need to have a normal TSH and monthly follow-ups with your endocrinologist. yung endo ko naman di na niya pansin yung T3 and T4 ko. sa TSH lang talaga sya nakafocus since my case was papillary carcinoma and totally wala na naman yung thyroid ko.

here's my story when i conceived my first born (baka mahaba ito). my surgeon that time asked me to stop taking eltroxin in preparation for a thyroglobulin exam. expectedly, tataas sobra way more than normal yung TSH ko. nagkataon i got pregnant, sobra kaba naman namin ng OB ko because pag mataas TSH meaning hypothyroidism naman an problema and it greatly affects the development of your baby's brain. 5 months pa bago namin na reach yung normal. so far ok naman baby ko, yung newborn screening negative naman sa hypothyroidism.

i'm having my second baby, conceived while my panganay is 8mos old. (bilis no?) this time constant monitor na naman kami on my TSH. since mataas dose ko ng eltroxin, super below minimum naman yung TSH kaya we're trying this time to make it at least minimal normal.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

sis ria, how old were you when you had RAI?  i was 23 i think when i had my partial thyroidectomy and 27 when i had my total. hindi pa ako na RAI hanggan i got pregnant. depende sa endo, meron agressive gusto RAI agad but my endo now, nagpalit kasi ako sabi not necessary since young pa naman ako (31). advise daw niya yun for ages 40 and up.

i also want info. havent talked to anybody yet who has the same problem with mine.

[riazagala]

sis, i was 29 then, sabi nga daw last resort na sana ang rai, but then yung endo ko fr. mkti med (dra. raboca) sinuggest para tapos na agad. so yun na nga.

buti na nga rin, nagka baby na ulit kami. at least may 2 boys na ko, kahit walang girl, ok na rin

[alias]

stress one factor kaya if i were you just enjopy life with your husband pero syempre dont forget to try pa rin pero not forcing yourself too much pressured having a baby. Good Luck!

i have PCOs too since i was 13yo. when i got married, gusto ko sana honeymoon baby, pero i found out from my OB na hindi pala talaga ako magppreggy w/o medical help kase nga mahirap mabuntis ang mga PCOs. so after 3months na kasal kami ni hubby, my OB and i performed ovulation process. then planned ang mga lovemaking namin nun ni hubby. kase we had a schedule to follow. although everyday should be a honeymoon day for you. yes panay ang time off namin ni hubby. it helps a lot kase when you're not pressuring yourself to conceive. sabayan mo pa ng prayers and novena.

a lot of my friends who cannot conceive din transferred to my OB (dra. arlene bravo of makati med). ngayon mga mommies na kami lahat. one friend of mine, may thyroid problem din. her doctor even said na hindi na sya magppreggy ever. pero lumipat sya sa OB ko and ayun, mommy narin sya.

Hi! mga mommies!! im new here...
kylangan ko lang kc ng help regarding my situation.
Im pregnant right now 5months.
I have a Non Toxic Goiter worried ako kc lumalaki cia.
Can i asked kung cnu un mga ENDO doctors niu balak ko kc kumuha ng second opinion. and kung pwede pasama n rin un consultaion fee kung magkano.


Many thanks!!!

^ what hospital sis? sa makati med, si dra. crisostomo endo ko. sobrang haba/dami ng pasyente   

i really dont know how much she's charging for consultation, free kasi sa HMO namin.

but right now kay dr. fernando ako sa PDH. mas mura don kesa makati med (siguro 350-400?).

when pregnant, minomonitor lang naman dun is TSH, it should be normal. pa-check ka na sis. the earlier the better.

good luck!

The junior associate in our office (one of my bosses) is already in his mid 30's.  He got married 6 years ago.  His wife, who is 6 or 7 years ahead of him already has a child with her previous marriage, who is now a college stud.

My boss is the youngest of 7 children (3 boys, 4 girls). All of them are already married, except for 1 of his sisters.  All of his married sisters has her own children, however, he and his older brothers, has not got any yet...

I'm just wondering why only the male members of the 7 siblings, despite the fact of having married for a long time already, have no child yet...

I heard my boss and his wife are undergoing medications... they have their annual out-of-town/country vacation, which i think they spend to grab a chance for conceiving... but still, to no avail...

What do you think could be the problem? considering that his wife got pregnant with her first husband... where or from whom did he and his brothers inherit their incapacity?

I just feel sorry because my boss is a wealthy guy... i know they can afford to give everything if they only had a child...

[ilovegabe]

madaming factors sis, it can be that the guy (or guys in their family) is a workaholic and is always stressed kaya ganun. Or could also be the sperm count?  And maybe smoker and drinker din, pwede din yun.

[yhamslove®]

yun nga mommy ang ipinagtataka namin... clean living silang lahat.. no vices as in wala talaga (parang impossible no? but it's true)... their professions: laywer, doctor and business man... nag-gy-gym din lagi, and talagang strict sa diet...

sometimes i feel awkward kapag kaharap ko boss ko and he has a visitor... the visitor would ask: "O, ilan na anak mo?" he would reply "wala pa nga eh... eto ngang secretary namin inunahan na ako eh! (laughs)" ngumingiti nalang ako...

sayang talaga if they would not have a child... super bait pa naman ng boss ko... bonus na yung super pogi siya...

siguro nga mommy it's the sperm count...

side question lang mommy ha.. if you only have an idea... (probably yes..) if the egg cell only needs one sperm to fertilize it... then why a low sperm count would not suffice? kailangan ba talaga millions? hindi pwede thousand lang.. kindly educate me please...

[nylanroy]

as far as i know, DAPAT NA HEALTHY ANG SPERM CELLS.

tulad mo, nagtataka rin ako, isa lang naman ang need para ma meet si egg cell pero ba't sinasabi nila low sperm count. baka hindi literal meaning yun, baka that is with regards dun sa capacity nitong nag iisa at magiting na sperm cell na makabuo.. 

[ilovegabe]

kelangan talaga millions sis, ewan ko ba 

Sa pagka alala ko sis, sperm kasi is a foreign body so from the moment it enters our body, all odds are against it na. Our vagina contains discharges that can kill it pa, kaya kelangan talaga madaming madami, survival of the fittest kasi to e. And usually one lang talaga ang nakakafertilize ng egg. Yung sperm lang na sobrang healthy and persevered so much na nakayanan ang lahat ng paghihirap. 
Meron nga iba diba na kahit na fertilize na hindi maka implant, yung iba naman spontaneously naabort, its the natures way daw of making sure that those sperms and eggs who grew and survived to be a baby is the perfect and healthiest of them all.

nalala ko tuloy yung isang chapter sa biology book namin yung elementary kami.. the chapter cover says (with matching illustration din) "MAY THE BEST SPERM WIN!"

we are so lucky we have children...

so ironic... there's a squatter's area in a certain place which i always see on my way to the office... ang daming bata! simula dun sa mga pinapaarawan na mga weeks old palang ata... to those who are i think nasa elementary na... kung sino pa yung hindi gaano naka-afford magsuporta ng mga anak... sila yung nagkakababy... pero yung ibang mayayaman na kayang ibigay lahat... hindi sila magkababy man lang...

sometimes, empassingly... in a joking manner... my boss would ask me... "Kelan kaya ako magkaka-anak?"... i would just answer, "malapit na yan, Sir! kung yung iba nga after 10 years nagkakababy pa eh.."... Just to encourage him in my little way...

[nylanroy]

korek sis! yung mga nag aasam ng matagal na, almost hopeless na sila.. pero dami poor family, dami rin anak, halos hindi na nasusustentuhan.. may pinapa ampon.. may pinamimigay na lang basta.. at worst of all, pag may nabubuo, pinapa abort! kung alam lang ng mga walang puso na un na madaming couples ang nagpe pray para magkaroon ng ANGEL who will give them the ultimate happiness they truly deserve! yung walang kapantay talaga!

and pareho tayo situation.. boss ko ring babae, wala rin baby kaya siguro minsan bugnutin eh..  kaya minsan pag may nagkukuwentuhan.. malungkot nyang sasabihin.. "buti nga sila may anak eh.." so sad..

in my case sis, 4 years bago ako nabuntis....at worry na talaga ako. Nag asawa ako 24 years old tapos 32 naman husband ko that time, last year lang ako nabuntis at the age of 29 at 37 naman husband ko..hindi kami nagpaalaga sa doctor para magkaanak, humingi lang kami advice sa mga friends at relatives namin...at ito yung ilan sa mga advice nila:

1. clean living- avoid cigarettes, liquors..etc nagpapababa at nagpapahina daw ng sperm count

2. right timing during lovemaking; syempre dapat fertile na fertile ang girl at kundisyon ang katawan nyo parehas

3. take ng vitamins lalo na yung my iron daw

4. right position during lovemaking para makadaloy daw ng maayos yung sperm

5. yung husband ko uminom sya ng Enduranz dati para dumami sperm count

6. most of all PRAYERS talaga...nothing is impossible sa hiling mo lalo na kapag sincere ka.

yun lang ang ma ishare ko...malay mo makatulong sa kanya
