Hey ladies
I saw so many posts about- how many of us on this board are soooo tire and chop it up to the weight but i have some good and bad news that you all might wanna look into
when my ds was born in november of 2003 i was soooo happy to have the child and family i always wanted but then when i went for the follow up appt to the obgyn i hadnt started my first period...soooo she automatically ordered a pregnancy test and sent me home to wait...the test was negitive and she told me to come back in the following week and if i hadnt started my period by then i was to have a d&c or what ever they are called....so anyhow they morning i was to have the procedure done i started (thank god) so i cancelled the appt. *WHEW*
anyhow a few months later i was going like 35 days w/o periods and this wasnt the norm for me. I was tired all the time *THIS IS WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT* my hair was still falling out my mood was all over the chart....i didnt want to clean my house or anything I MEAN NOOOOOOOOOOOOO ENERGY so i asked the women in my family and they were all concerened
they told me i needed to go in and have my THYROID checked and sure enought it wasnt up to par... needless to say i am on meds now and will have to be for the rest of my life but the meds help with weight loss and metabolism and EVERYTHING so ladies if you can please reasearch more about *HYPOTHROIDISM* its serious and if left untreated could make you very very sick....even worse:( look into it girls its worth it
tosh

That was what I was hoping my problem was when the same thing started happening to me 2 yrs ago after DS was born, only I wasn't losing my hair. Mine is fine thought. For me it was a bit different.
