Plus, in 5 years I had 2 babies and 2 miscarriages (one very early, one at 12 weeks) so my hormones were out of whack then too. Those are the two instances that took a substantially long time for me to improve. This time, with a capable doctor, we caught and treated it early like we did last time I was sick and it only lasted a few months then. So, that does bring me some comfort.

You are also older and more experienced. You have a lot going in your favour, but it's "paint by the numbers" time. Focus on the task in front of you and accept the one after. Trust in your support team.
