Wrapping up the Bee Fertile reviews

So, I am going to sum up the changes in my cycle since starting the Bee Fertile Supplements. It is best for me to wait to do so, because right when AF shows, I'm usually very emotional and maybe not the most objective.  That being said, I want to look at Bee Fertile based on two factors: 1) What I hoped to occur for my own cycle and 2) What Bee Fertile states to expect in comparison to what I did experience. 

So, for the basic details:

It's EWCM day!

I've been meaning to do a cycle update and perhaps a review of how it has changed since starting Bee Fertile. If you see my last update (Irregular cycles and RE Appt), I showed how since I started Bee Fertile, stopped my B6 and BComplex vitamins and started Synthroid to treat my hypothyroidism, my cycles have been shortening--1st cycle had about 4 day LP, second managed about the same, and last cycle finished anovulatory, although before the last temp it was at a 9 day LP, so who knows.

Diagnosis: Hypothyroidism

Well. I got a letter from my doctor, who I saw around mid-March. She did a CBC (complete blood count), cholesterol screen and a hormone panel. My cholesterol is good, no problems with blood sugar, prolactin is normal. However.....

My blood test indicates I have hypothyroidism (lower than normal production of thyroid hormones).  My doctor's letter did not indicate the numbers, but I did appreciate how her letter explained it to me in normal English with minimal doctor-speak. But, the letter indicated she was including a prescription for Synthroid (25 mcg), but the nurse must've forgotten to put it in the envelope. Needless to say, I was beyond frustrated. I thought that maybe she had called it in to the pharmacy instead, and had my DH go by and see. He said the pharmacy tech looked at him like he was an idiot. I had to get the letter TWO WEEKS after it was dated, on  a Friday, and of course I can't even leave a message for the doctor until Monday.
