I am so over this

So incredibly frustrated. Stark white first response test - 3 days before period. I know, it's still a tad early. But I should have a faint line by now. 10th cycle. It is so utterly impossible to think about going through another month. And then what is next - appointments, medications, tests.

My tsh is slightly elevated so I've been on meds for 3 weeks. Don't know why I had the stupidity to think that would suddenly fix everything. I'm so tired of this. Our first took over a year but thankfully didn't need to go down to the fertility treatment route. It seems so unfair to experience this again and it could be longer and harder this time.

Semen analysis

My husband got his results back frow semem analysis. Total count is high and progressive motility is just in range, however vitality is 55% (expected range >58%) and 7m round cells.

Does having a high number of round cells and low vitality basically cancel out the high total count and progressive motility?

How long for meds to start making a difference to TSH?

How long does it take for Levothyroxine to make a meaningful difference to TSH levels? I had a level 4.4 which indicates subclinical hypothyroidism. I have been trying to conceive for nearly a year. I have been taking the meds for 3 weeks now and will re-test in 3 weeks. Just really hoping to get my numbers down as soon as possible in case this is the reason for not falling pregnant

Has anyone else experienced their TSH levels drastically increased post baby? My TSH level prior to conception with first baby was 1.47, it is now 4.41 (2.5 years later) - which is borderline subclinical hypothyroidism. Have been ttc for 10 months. Could this be a strong indication for why I haven't fallen pregnant?

My results show borderline subclinical hypothyroidism (TSH: 4.41 and Free 24: 16.9)

Is there strong evidence that levels above 4 negatively impact fertility? I've been trying to conceive for 12 months, have no other symptoms. Would it be strongly recommended for me to take medication? Is it possible to conceive with these levels?
