What are the symptoms of thyroid trouble if you don't mid saying?

@ralong@xanga - Mine include being tired all the time, decreased libido, muscle twitches, decreased memory, decreased coordination...I've also noticed that my skin has been dry and I've gained about 15 lbs this year. Those are my symptoms, but everyone experiences different ones. 

 @Amy Lynn Bochman@facebook - If you don't mind my asking, what was your TSH when they first checked you? And what symptoms did you experience?  If it's too personal you don't have to answer. 

The worst reason for bringing a life into this world is "your husband wants to."  You are in the driver's seat.  There's nothing morally wrong with either A. postponing your attempts at fertility, or, B. not having any children.  People don't die from not having children.  If your husband cannot wrap his head around your issues right now, he's got some serious problems.

That sounds much more plausible.  If hubby is willing to put forth more than his share of effort, because for all of us mothers, we know it can't be measured in a 50/50 type of deal, then you already have a head start.  As far as second guessing yourself, nobody gets a manual that tells them every move to make.  But your heart tells you much.  Like holding, cooing, swaddling, rocking, you name it, and these things are present when one adopts as well.  My niece was 17 hours old when they received her per open adoption, and the bond was similar to what I felt with mine.  Only they weren't so tired because mom hadn't just gone through the whole pregnancy and delivery.  I would say, my sister-in-law bonded almost immediately.  I did my best because I found within days that my love was immense.  I made many mothering mistakes.  Not one mother is perfect.  Sounds like you are setting yourself up mentally to not make mistakes, and that ainta gonna happen.  Just roll with it, and if you make a mistake, apologize, make amends, move on.  My children dealt with me, undiagnosed bipolar then, and I knew I was weird, but didn't know I was ill, so I did my best.  And guess what?  They've both told their friends that they had a wonderful mother, just because I loved them and did my best.  So if you are still young, want to, have the support of your husband, go for it.  Don't wait until you are 40 when some magical thing is supposed to happen, and you need to pay thousands to get your eggs fertilized.  I think you'll be wonderful honey.  Just wonderful.  5 weeks to go till I see my grandson!!!  So excited!!  I'll be baby sitting 3 days a week for them, and I'm thrilled!!!!  Name suggestions please???  PLEASE?????

I have hypo thyroid too. For me it is kind of odd that I was diagnosed with the underactive thyroid because I have always been skinny (most would assume I would have hyper thyroid). I found out I had hypo thyroid when I got a blood test at only 10 years old. I started taking synthroid medicine for hypo thyroid right away. I am glad they found it when I was so young. The sooner you find out the better! It's a good thing you found it out now than any later in life. Don't worry about it though, as long as you take your medicine you will be perfectly fine :) If you are on the pill, it's as if you don't even have hypo thyroid anymore. I was told though that when you want to get pregnant, you have to find out as soon as possible if you are. As soon as you find out, they will put you on the correct dosage. You will have to have more appointments for your pregnancy than people without hypo/hyper thyroid simply because you will have to get your hormone levels checked more often to check your medicine levels (probably around every 3 months or so). It's nothing to worry about as long as you are on the medicine :)
