Thyroid Levels!

Hi all,
I had my thyroid checked in August and levels were 4.69. Out of the normal range and a repeated blood test was ordered.
Did the repeat test last week and my levels are now 3.43, so they’ve come down naturally which I’m pleased about.
However, my fertility clinic have said they won’t start my IVF treatment until my levels are 2.8 (self-funded) so I’ve spoken with my doctor this morning and she said I don’t have an under active thyroid and I’m not currently on medication for it therefore she wouldn’t start me on any medication when my levels are in the normal range.
She is going to speak with my fertility clinic for me but in the mean time I think I’m going to try for a natural route of bringing levels down.
I just wondered if anyone else has been through something similar?
Thanks ☺️

The hardest part about having no village

We hear moms talk all the time about not having a village and how parenting is just awful without having support. But I think the worse part about not having a village is watching my kid have no friends. I remember growing up and having cousins to play with, and my parents friends kids. There were always people around. But my kid, he has no one. I had kids late in life so the friends I had when I was pregnant all had kids much older than mine. My brothers kids are much older than mine. Now, those same friends dont talk to me anymore. Even if they did, their older kids probably wouldn't want to play with mine. Its hard watching my child be so desperate for friends that he latches onto whatever kid at the park he can find. He instantly calls them his friend, even if they are being mean to him. His "friends" are his stuffed animals. Thats who he has to play with. I've tried making mom friends with moms who have kids the same age, and it never works out. I've talked to moms at the park, even exchanged numbers and nothing. I dont really care that i have no friends. But my heart hurts for my son. We even had another baby just so he would have one constant kid to play with. But it took us longer than we wanted to get pregnant, and his brother is still a baby so hes not much fun yet. He's in school now, so I thought maybe he would make friends there, but when I try to talk to moms of his classmates to maybe set up playdates, I dont get anywhere there either. I dont know what I wanted to come from this post, just sharing my thoughts I guess. Maybe other moms can relate.

Am I pregnant?

I’m 18 days late from my missed period, I did a test 2 weeks ago and it was negative. I’ve just done one tonight (cheap one) & took it late in the evening & there is the faintest line. Does this look like a positive test for someone that is nearly 3 weeks late!?

Pre-Seed Success?

Has anyone had success with pre-seed lubricant? I’m so worried it will mess things up.

This is a blood pregnancy test

I DID A REGULAR PREGNANCY TEST (IN COMMENTS) AND THIS IS THE RESULT BUT ALSO I DID A BLOOD PREGNANCY TEST AND BOTH ARE THE HAVING RESULT PRETTY SIMILAR ON MY EYES , BOTH WAS IN THE FRAME TIME ,

Can you tell me what do you see? Thank you so much.

Is this a positive?

I’m 11 dpo and honestly in disbelief it. It took me a full year to conceive our first, and this was our first time trying for our second. 🥹

Trying not to get too excited yet…

What do you guys think

Question

Hello moms I am very scared if this is positive or negative. I am 4 days late for my period and I tested yesterday and got this and it popped up during the time frame
