adrenal health /chronic stress

Hello all! I'm relatively new to the site but have actively been (silently) educating myself through these and other fertility boards for a year or so. I've had health issues since I started my period at 10 years old and knew that once I started TTC it would be quite the endeavor. All this bring said, I've done much research (and have been aware of my reproductive issues since before I got married and started trying) and have been enlightened by the idea that there's a theme in my life of not handling stress well. I recently found this post ( http://natural-fertility-info.com/is-my-adrenal-health-affecting-my-fertility.html ) that made me feel reaffirmed that I have adrenal issues and not some sort of immune disorder as previous doctors have always suspected but never been able to diagnose... For a solid 6 months my doctors were convinced I had lupus until enough testing left too much room for doubt, so they chalk it up to a potential thyroid issue (??? All tests come back normal) I felt compelled to share it and get some feedback on people dealing with the effects of this as well! It would be super appreciated to just feel understood by others for once. I'm so sick of being told it's something way more complicated than it is! I strongly believe that past trauma and a lack of family stability has lead to a lack of proper adrenal function that my body has never really learned to adjust. Thoughts??

Apologies for the novel :)
