Lamb Pituitary, Anyone?

I went to the Chiropractor this afternoon. We were discussing something, I forget what, and I mentioned that I was going to an acupuncturist. She asked how I liked it. Being honest, I said that I hadn't noticed any change but then again I wasn't going to remedy migraines or anything. I was going for infertility.

She shared that a friend of hers had struggled with infertility and had acupuncture as well. Eventually she went on to have a healthy baby. I shared that I was willing to try anything at least once because I had suffered through two miscarriages within a year of each other.

The doctor then asked how far along in each pregnancy I lost the baby. After thinking a minute, she asked if I had any thyroid problems. Why, yes! Yes I do! She said it may be a combination of thyroid and pituitary dysfunction. After running some "tests", she decided that I may benefit from taking pituitary/hypothalamus supplements. I decided to give it a try. Not only will it make me feel better in general, it could improve my chances in conceiving and carrying a healthy baby.

I start the pill tonight. So...if you hear me baaaing over the course of the next few says you will know why!
