Hi, wondering if anyone can help? I know people aren’t allowed to post specific consultants on here but even just a pointer in the right direction would be good!
I have been trying for a baby for just over a year having had my daughter in May 2017. She was conceived after 3.5 years of trying to conceive through IVF with prednisolone as my antithyroid peroxidase antibodies were sky high (>1500)
Since having my daughter my TSH levels have been all over the shop but seem to have finally stabilised. I have just been through a frozen embryo transfer which ended in a chemical pregnancy.
I am committed to lifestyle changes and don’t have gluten and dairy, nor sugar. I supplement with iron, probiotics, selenium, a multivitamin and various other things. I saw a functional medicine practitioner who was helpful and said I had Candida so I have been working on that. My levels are now >500 so a bit better but still high.
I wonder about areas such as oestrogen dominance and also just what the autoimmune side of things does for my fertility. But I can’t find any doctors who don’t want to just talk about fertility treatment. I am willing to walk down that road again (when I have recovered) but I just wish I could have a professional to help me with this rather than feeling I have to try and work it out myself!
Sorry this is such a long post. I guess what I’m asking is, are there any decent endocrinologists out there that specialise in fertility? I feel that I would like to see what my body can do, and have always consistently been pushed down an artificial route. Any advice or thoughts really welcome!
