i LOVE your video, I was JUST diagnosed with hypothyroidism and I cannot tell you how much this video could have been made by me, we have also been ttc almost three years (in Nov.). Just got diagnosed oct 9th.

Tickle, you can have a period without ovulating. My menstrual cycles are pretty regular. Sometimes tho they can be different lengths. And Jennik, isn't it liberating to know what the problem is?!?! I have had everything that you listed, and Now I feel awesome!! I never knew a thing about hypothyroid till I was diagnose. Good luck with TTC as well!!! Im sending baby dust out to all!!

[jennik444]

That was really great! Thanks!! I feel EXACTLY how you feel! My diagnosis was very liberating because it explained alot of why I am not able to conceive and why I was taking antidepressants and they just weren't working for me. I have had weight gain, exhaustion, late to no ovulation. Since starting Synthroid I'm feeling better than I have ever felt EVER! I think it is so important to get your thyroid checked. I never even knew anything about hypothyroid. Good luck TTC! Lots of baby dust!

thank you for your informative video. can you have your period without ovulating? what kind of menstrual cycle do people with hypothyroidism have? ie. little to no periods, or over 12 periods a year?
