[@g.cosper8306]

My husband and I got pregnant very easily the first time we tried, about 3 months. Fast forward to 3 years later and we decide to try again. 2 years go by with no success. I get all the tests done including a very uncomfortable exam. Finally my man got tested and was told he was functionally sterile. We were shocked! Low motility and low numbers. Turns out we had a miracle baby; a one in 20 billion beautiful girl. Please get the test. It also found a problem that would have killed him before age 40, he's 66 now.

[@donnamays24]

Oh please go Zach because you really should know if there is something other than fertility going on. Every man needs a complete work up just like women do. Early detection is key.

Yea I get normal check ups. The doc recommended a semen analysis...that’s the appointment me were talking about not doing.

[@jgwood10]

@@StiversHomestead the analysis is one of the important factors in detecting issues. It won’t hurt!

Yes Zack, when I was married back in the 90's I had infertility issues of my own so my Dr ran a bunch of tests on me and he also took a sperm sample from my then husband and it was extremely low. You just never know.

[@PleasantPrickles]

I don’t know if you drive a car with heated seats, but there is some connection with men’s privates getting too hot and lowering counts. Hot baths are a no no too, I’ve heard.

@@StiversHomestead my husband and I have been down this rabbit hole. Get tested and go from there. We tried for 7 years went through all the tests. Did the ovulation temp checks every day.

@@StiversHomestead that’s routine for the male to have done. It’s possible but I think unlikely since you fathered 2 children already. Jen, track your cycle and get an ovulation predictor test.

My husband went to the doctor and they told him we couldn’t have children but we went to a new doctor. We had one with fertility meds. And one without. You guys will be ok it will happen when you don’t expect it too!! Just enjoy your time with each other and your 2 little ones.

[@charolettevineis4673]

It was suggested that I lose weight... would not only help with getting pregnant but with overall health and vitality.

[@charlottejune5997]

Well said, without being rude, Jen should loose weight it will help to get pregnant And also it's very important for health reasons.. I'm surprised that her doctor didn't say anything.

[@Lisa-wp1ff]

Getting pregnant would add 30 plus pounds so maybe the body is holding off until at a healthier weight. Not trying to be ugly but carrying extra weight when pregnant brings on many issues .

[@AmysArea]

Charolette I also had successfully became pregnant after going through the appointments and next step of fertility however after I lost 30 lbs I became pregnant!!

[@sadiemcdermott6471]

I was unable to conceive when overweight I lost weight and had a baby then I gained weight again and was never able to get pregnant all test are normal.

[@AmysArea]

Lisa Leavelle I gained 6 my entire pregnancy and he was 6.1 but I lost 27 having him!! I gained 12 with my daughter she was also 6lbs and after her birth I lost 32!!!! This was befor I even left the hospital!!!

[@karenhogue8443]

After having 3 children I developed hypothyroidism. I had secondary infertility where I was able to get pregnant but suffered repeated losses. My experience was that I needed thyroid meds in order to get pregnant and stay pregnant. I had weekly appointments at the start of my pregnancy to monitor thyroid and hormone levels. I was on progesterone support as a precaution and my thyroid meds needed adjustment before I reached 6 weeks but then it stayed stable until delivery. After giving birth it took about 9 months and 3 meds changes for my thyroid to stabilize.

[@stshnie]

Thanks for sharing your story, Karen. You said ‘thyroid and hormone levels’. Can I just point out that thyroid hormone is a hormone so it should be ‘thyroid and other hormone levels’. Insulin is also a hormone. Yes, symptoms of hypothyroidism can include tiredness and putting on weight and are often mentioned. That might be why people think it’s not a serious problem. It actually affects every cell of the body - it can affect your heart rate, for example - so it’s perhaps not surprising that it is also involved in fertility issues. It’s mainly women who are affected so it seems, to me, intimately bound up with the other female hormones. It’s not necessarily that we are living an unhealthy lifestyle but somehow our (male) partners are healthy.

[@barbseverino1278]

I worked for an Endocrinologist. If thyroid off it can prevent pregnancy or effect pregnancy

[@suzannem5674]

I'm a nurse. Zak I would encourage you to get a physical and checked out.

[@StiversHomestead]

Yea I get normal check ups. the visit we were explaining was they recommended me to get a semen analysis.

[@christineengland3168]

Just a little imput. My thyroid levels were normal and I still had thyroid cancer. Not everyones body falls in the "normal " category.

[@kathleenwhalen7274]

I worked for an infertility doctor and surgeon for 10 years. Any type of medical issues can pop up. I have some advice,and please don’t take this the wrong way because I love you guys, but one of the first things the doctor would say is lose some weight. We have had patients lose 10-20 lbs and bam! They became pregnant.

[@kathleenmccall2671]

I to was wondering why Jen did not mention weight loss for overweight fertility issues. Body fat has hormones that also impact on pregnancy. I was being more aggressive than you and thinking 30-50 lbs , so when pregnant, you are the healthiest you can be.

[@mage8088]

Have you heard of Trim Healthy Mama? Lots of wonderful information about a mother's health, with a gentle healthy approach to weight loss.

[@Paul-214]

[@charlottejune5997]

Couldn't with you more.. Jen should loose alot of weight... I'm very surprised that her doctor didn't mention it!! Carrying alot of weight is extremely bad, can cause lots of health issues not just fertility problems, in the USA many people are overweight.. Bad diet..

[@suerhea2620]

Glad you FINALLY went to the doctor. Zach does need to go to make sure he’s health and get established with a doctor.

Stivers Homestead First of all happy to hear everything is ok. I can understand about a topic being awkward or uncomfortable, especially reproductive health.

Thanks for sharing and please, if possible don’t let it bother you, if you can handle it, we can too!

[@Unrulyfarm]

I’m confused. Why is Jen getting all of her normal healthcare maintenance done and not Zack. Do the thing, Zack.

[@verashular3116]

I agree

[@stshnie]

Absolutely. Jen said, ‘He’s produced two children so there’s nothing wrong with him’. But she’s produced two children and did all the tests. Well, some of them. He should at least have blood work. There are two people involved in this. One is undergoing testing. The other isn’t. Makes no sense.

[@AmysArea]

@stshnie actually it does make perfect sense! I was once in the same mindset as Jen and tried for years to conceive. however I was 32 and still without child and or pregnancy . Sometime our minds have a huge part in the baby game!! I had gone to my dr in Aug and we explained how long we tried. (2years) the next step came to lots of blood testing for me as we ended that with the same results including thyroid as Jen has! After that my dr said if your not pregnant by December infertility would be our next step starting January. Blood work for the hubby but not until then... prayers and weight loss and stop trying so hard!!!! Ok 4 months of waiting wasn’t so bad for fertility test. Well I was with child by September!!!! Less then 3 weeks later!!!!! Jen needs to relax !!! Stop thinking about it and let Zac just do the deed! It was the sunflower seeds that my husband ate that boosted his little swimmers!!!! Having our children is a blessing not a job or hard job at that! Now we all know they have been there and done this however all the worry the thoughts they really do cause craziness and you just gotta believer can still happen at this Stage Jen!! Go have fun and enjoy the process! SO WITH THAT SAID AND DONE AS MY TWO CHILDREN! ARE Living proof of AGES 11 & 8 . I lost one in the middle. One month on birth control after my first I became with child again and miscarried. Then I was blessed with my daughter when I turned 35.. after her I had my tubes tied for the concern of my age and being high risk at 35. I have a deaf brother and I know how risky it could be at my age.. but I’ll guarantee I would have had another had I not. Jen ,Zac let go let God and have fun!!! Prayers for you all!!

I was not able to get pregnant until I was on thyroid medication when I found out I had thyroid issues. I hope you can do it naturally but don't be afraid to take the medication if its needed. You can always go off of it and healing your thyroid in the future. Going the natural route is amazing if you can do it!!

[@angeliquemcniff3076]

Thyroid is the first thing I was told to fix. It’s a leading cause. I too thought I was barely off but when you do research you find that the test is highly variable and we are often far more off than we realize. Fatigue and weight gain are two symptoms often related to low thyroid.

[@joanbaggs1915]

I take Armour thyroid. Made a world of difference. Synthroid caused me to lose my hair and feel awful.

I’m thankful you both are healthy. I went to a PA (physicians assistant) one time cause my abdomen kept getting bigger and bigger. She told me I needed to loose weight was the only thing wrong with me. I went to another doctor and she sent me to have an ultrasound and long story short I had surgery to have a 22pound mass removed from my abdomen. And had to have a complete hysterectomy. It had grown around my female organs and was getting bigger by the week. If I hadn’t went to another doctor I’m positive it would have killed me. Always get a second opinion when it comes to something like that. Love you all so much. Have a great evening

[@stitchengramie]

My mom was told she could not give birth to any more babies. I am the oldest of 6 children and mom was happy with all of us. When I was 10 the doctor told her that was going to have another baby. She was shock and so was I. Because I was the babysitter of all of us. When I turned 11 my little brother was born. When he learned to walk, I always made him go sleep between mom and dad. Just to make sure there was no more babies.

[@cheryllamb8831]

You both are so transparent & that is awesome! Jen, so glad you finally had your feminine checkup. I went for 17 years without one and then found I had cervical cancer. I laid it in God's hands and although it required 4 surgeries, I am now cancer free. Side note: Jen - your hair is beautiful!

Your health is just as important to fertility and you may be strong as an ox, you are still vulnerable and need to check out what’s up. This may be the thing that sends you to a doctor to find something early and treatable. If you’re getting regular check ups, cool. But if not, this could be your body telling you to check it out. Hope you’ll are well and Happy New Year.

[@sarahgoninan3124]

Keep checking on your thyroid. The range of "normal" is not necessarily accurate. Even a tiny bit high can interfere with getting pregnant and maintaining a pregnancy. I'm a nurse and I have thyroid issues. Ask your doctor to check for thyroid peroxidase antibodies which could be related to an autoimmune disorder called Hashimotos

[@Lisa-wp1ff]

Yes and thyroid can cause weight issues as my sister is dealing with this and hers is barely off. Also caused fertility issues

[@yourstruly_diane]

Exactly this. My TSH was allllllways “normal”. It wasn’t until I kept asking and asking because I knew something wasn’t right. Finally I was talking to my gyno during my yearly exam and she said let’s run you a full thyroid panel. Bam... Hashimotos.

[@theganns1644]

Jen I am so proud of you for getting checked out! I understand about C-sections. Zach a fertility test for a man is way easier for you than what Jen had to do and I know you love her.

I could have predicted what you were going to say that the Doctor spotted before you said it. I have severe thyroid issues, if your TSH is out of range or at the top of the range, there is more than just a little bit of an issue going on, it's likely more than anything else to be the cause, TSH is a very poor indicator of Thyroid issues. You need to ensure you are getting sufficient magnesium, zinc and selenium in your diet. Most Doctors are utterly utterly useless where Thyroid stuff is concerned, they don't treat it properly and they certainly don't give you the really good advice. Please, please, please have a read of the Stop The Thyroid Madness website.

[@bluesue929]

I agree. The acceptable range for TSH is very broad and there can be issues which the doctor does not realize. Check also T3 and T4 levels. You can always use the nascent iodine if the thyroid range is still "acceptable" per the doctor. Dr. Brownstein has written a book detailing thyroid issues. Magnesium can also be an issue for fertility.

Did you just have a TSH level done or did your doctor do a thyroid panel done? I have dealt with lots of thyroid issues for about 30 years. A low TSH level can point to other thyroid issues.

Glad you went for sure! My thyroid got messed up from cancer treatment years ago, and I've been on medicine for it ever since. I hate it, and wish I didn't have to, but mine was bad enough it became necessary. Glad everything went well!

thank you for sharing, for showing others you are working towards the best health possible. Good for you being pro-active...hopefully you won't have to be re-active. I am thankful - and know you are as well - grateful for the children you have...and contentedness is the blessing. Like you, I don't like medical "stuff". That said, I do take supplements since I keep having birthdays and my body is beginning to show the wear and tear. However, the supplements are working...and I'm thankful for supplements! :-) Now...Jen, as the body changes...perhaps Vit D slows down...it's so gradual, we just don't notice it. And then we're surprised when we feel so much better. So keep up the good work, keep doing what you know is right and trust your instincts. You're teaching the children what is - and is not - important. Blessings on all of you! And thank you for sharing.

I am 63 years old and I just retired from over 30 years of healthcare service. I used to tell all the young nurses please take care of your health now, because the older you get the harder it becomes . I've always had a garden I've always had chickens and I've always tried to approach my health in a more holistic way first. And I truly believe that as a society we are moving more towards that. I'm so very proud of you working as a team to get this figured out. You are always in our prayers and expecting an amazing report.

My daughter tried for 8 years to get pregnant. Diagnosis unexplained infertility. She now has a 2 year old and is pregnant now. She did see massage therapist weekly. Vitamins etc.

I had gained over 100 before I found out my thyroid was off. It affects so much! I've been on meds almost 15 years now. Prayers for your family.

Celebrating good reports with you. 👏🏻 Take good care of yourselves. Supplements can take some time for you to see much difference. 👍🏼 Keep taking them for overall good health.

Glad you got a good report Jen

So proud that you made it to the doctor Jen! I know how hard it is to "break through that mental shell" to get help. Zack, boxers, not briefs😁

Hope the best for you guys.. Happy everything came back ok.. I'm telling you just keep practicing it will happen.. 😉

You really want your thyroid levels to be spot on. As someone who had to have my thyroid removed, it isn't anything to play around with. Even a tiny bit out of tolerance, makes a HUGE difference in how you feel and how your entire immune system functions. Please see an endocrinologist to explore the thyroid issue further.

Glad to hear there is nothing wrong with Jen. If Zac's swimmers are low there is medication to give your swimmers a boost my ex hubby at the time I was going through fertility treatment he was given a boost . Good luck in trying

[@sharyn208]

Jen I’m so glad you had a great report from the doctors visit. You both have the right attitude. God has a plan and He will show you in His time. Have a Blessed week.

[@morningwoodfarms713]

Yay to the news of good health, Jenn!! Advice for Zak: Go to a doctor for a general physical anyway. It can't hurt, and you're overdue. You can then explain to the doctor any concerns you may have about conception. They should at least have a bit of advice. If not, they will have a referral to another doctor that will surely be able to answer any questions you may have about it. Your overall health is most important, and you should start there. If y'all want to go REALLY weird, look into getting a Kokopelli statue of sorts (from Mexico or another authentic place). A family we know bought a Kokopelli wall art piece while vacationing in Mexico some years ago. They bought it because it looked "cool". They knew nothing at all about any cultural or other meaning behind it. They hung it in their living room immediately upon returning home. The end result was 3 kids in 3 years. They were not ready for kids when they got the art piece. They got pregnant immediately. Sadly, they chose to "not go through with" the 3 - 5 (or more) pregnancies that came after initially hanging the art piece. It seemed they couldn't STOP getting pregnant. A year passed. They finally learned of the "legend" of the Kokopelli in their home and were stunned to find it linked to ancient fertility. The choice was then made to actually go through with the next pregnancy (and the two after). Super strange, but true! Either way, when it's time, it's time. Good luck y'all! We love and pray for you, always! 🕊🙏❤

Jen, Zack, don't forget what Yah way says, thou shalt have no other God's before me. Take this to the Lord, not an idol of any kind.
