I had my TL at the time my second son was born. I was 35. I had a terrible pregnancy and 9 lb+ baby. I can't have an abortion (can't kill my baby) so I felt at the time that this is a reponsible choice because another pregnancy like that will kill me. I breastfed for half a year and everything was perfect [except I had 2nd time pospartum thyroid disorder, LEEP for bad pap and developed melanoma (cancerous mole) for which I had to have surgery]. Even my leg veins didn't bother me at all. After I stopped breastfeeding and got my periods back I started to have pain before my periods around ovaries and stabbing pain at the time of ovulation. Something I didn't have before my pregnancy. So far I had 9 periods. The past 3 periods this pain doesn't go away after the period starts and it's worse by the evening. And I also have permanently swollen uterus and a light bleeding between period and ovulation. Seems like I have pelvic congestion and my leg veins are much worse. Needless to say that I don't want and actually unable to have sex because of this pain. At one point I was throwing up because of pain relievers. The tests show that everything is normal. I didn't have all the tests from the offered here list. But I had most of them and I also think it's very easy to be within the range if the range is between 11 and 250. I sleep, run and swim this swelling off but I can't win this war. I also take Fenugreek to lessen my irritability and it actually reduces the pain too. I also take Dong Quai and Vitex but they don't work as good as before my pregnancy. I'm also trying to get a prescription for Dopamine. It's side effect to increase prolactine and, well, supress the ovaries. I hope to buy myself some time before I get a TR. This is my only hope because I don't have $20,000 for FRS. And the thing that stopped me from scheduling a consult with Vikki was $300 fee for 3 15 min consults. I refuse to belive though how unique and wonderfull she is that she is not up to our money. Hope my experience with herbs can be usefull. And pass the word about your bad experience. Don't let these "doctors" torture somebody else.
