U-Turns

Time is ticking so slowly towards the blood test that will decide how soon we can try for #2 and some people around aren't helping much. Yet I know, in their way, they want whats best.

We had a visitor yesterday. A family member, who decided that her thoughts were that I'd be better going back to work than having another baby.
She told us her friend who'd had a TT lived a normal life until she had a heart attack at 50, which was, apparantly, down to the TT. I can't find any scientific or medical research to back up this happening, but I do know the woman in question went back to work just a few days after her operation and worked long hours... can we say "stress related"?

Obviously, OH got worried, and now he's made a complete U-Turn on the baby thing, deciding maybe its a bad idea, and that my health is at risk.

Now, I understand the dangers, and I know I need to wait for the specialists to give the whole thing a thumbs up. I am willing to do that. But its rather disconcerting that OH can change his mind so quickly based upon what other people say.

Every risk that I have learnt of so far, are rare. The majority of risks are based upon "untreated or uncontrolled" hypothyroidism. So, it says to me that the pro's outweigh the cons if I let the doctors take a little of the control and I follow their instructions.

Maybe getting out a little more will help me, but personally I don't think working is the answer.
I already have a house to run, a child to care for and a ton of other responsibilities. Why add the stress of a full-time job. Especially in this financial climate, where getting an interview is a full time job in itself?

Our local University runs some interesting courses around psychology and sciences, which have always been an interest of mine. So I'm going to sign up for one next week, starting in October.
That'll get me out of the house to meet new people, give me a new focus, and help towards a degree. Which may not instantly guarrantee me a job, but it has to help some doesn't it?
