I went to see an Endocrinologist at George Washington University back in October to see what is going on with my body. They took some of my blood to run a whole battery of tests. Like a week later, my doctor called and told me that my TSH levels (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) were low, so they wanted me to go back in December to retest my levels. I went back to GW on December 12th to get my blood redrawn, and I just got my test results back today (December 19th), and my TSH levels were rather high this time. So I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease (autoimmune thyroiditis). In the general scheme of things this isn't a big deal, but it answers a lot of questions and explains my fertility issues. This also classifies me as a high-risk pregnancy, this sounds scary, but really isn't. The silver lining to this all is that I finally have answers and insurance covers everything 100%.
