Hi all,
Would just like a little chat about periods and TTC!
I am 35 and have a 3 year old DC. Originally I wanted to start trying for DC2 last year but unfortunately became very ill with Hyperthyroidism (nearly destroyed me but that’s another story) and subsequently have been diagnosed with Graves’ disease. Currently my levels are in range and I am looking to switch to a pregnancy safer drug and start trying. Anyone else had Graves and conceived ok? I want to be optimistic but am also fearful this disease has messed my fertility right up. Consultant said it shouldn’t do but equally my cycle has changed quite a lot. Periods can be regular for 2 months with 32 days between which is normal for me, then 45 days the next month, shorter bleeding time and decreased flow. My next thought, could it be peri menopause? The build up to my period is so much worse nowadays, the symptoms are quite unbearable. Outside of periods I am on Sertraline for Panic Disorder which developed after the Graves but could this also be a peri indicator?
Sorry for the ramble! Would just love a chat and advice ❤
