I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away.

This web site is all about your question. It is of course best to talk to your doctor as he/she knows your overall medical situation.

look into their eyes and you will find perfection and unconditional love and companionship that you will  probably never find in humanity.

it will take a while to bring up your thyroid level then your periods should  become regular , your  doctor should be doing blood test every 4 to 6 weeks to check levels and possibly increase your dose  .Be patient it could take a while ,until then i would ask your doctor if you should even try to become pregnant  most doctors suggest not until your thyroid levels are right .

From experience only: had problems with Levrothyroxine.  Problem with generic Levrothyroixine, I didn't always get the same manufacturer, each time I purchased it.  If you can be absolute positive it is the same manufacturer each month you fill it, then it should be ok. But I bet  it is not! Endocrinologist wrote a "letter of medical necessity" so insurance company would pay for Synthyroid. That way you are sure you are getting the same medication every month. Make sure you see a Endocrinologist if planning a pregnancy, because you are considered high risk when you have a thyroid disorder. Your thyroid has to be regulated very well or you won't get pregnant. Daughter did not get pregnant until she was 29. But she finally did and she was high risk, and her and baby had to be watched very carefully the full 9 months.  If you are seeing endocrinologist, good for you. If not, do your self a favor and see one.

How Can I Get Rid of a Yeast Infection?

QUESTION Dear Midwife, I have had a yeast infection throughout my entire pregnancy. My doctor has tested me for STD's and all are negative. He has prescribed metro gel to me. I have used this every few months. I am now on my 32 week and am using this prescription every other week. Is there something stronger I can use or something I can change or do differently to help? ANSWER Metrogel will not cure a yeast infection; it's for a bacterial infection and can actually cause a yeast infection. Have you tried Diflucan™ (the yeast pill)? There are also over the counter yeast preparations and a heavy duty vaginal cream (Terazol) that might be appropriate. If all these fail, borax washes help some women and the yeast can be cultured to see what will kill it. Other things you can do for yourself include: Eliminating sugars as much as possible (no soda or juices) Only two fruits and two dairies per day Eating more vegetables and proteins Good luck! -- Cynthia, CNM.
