Avatar f tn Hi, I'm 5weeks 6 days pregnant. I'm scared as to how my body will react to this pregnancy. I have heard that most women with FMS don't make it to a full term delivery. Would really appreciate reading about other's experiences. I know everybody is different, but I feel a tad bit alone since I have no one to relate to.
Avatar f tn I had a fairly easy pregnancy minus the diabetes and high blood pressure both that I was diagnosed with before pregnancy along with the thyroid problem. Just stick to your medication and everything will be fine.
Avatar f tn That is the safetest way to deal with any kind of thyroid.
Avatar f tn so i am almost 28 and i have a 7 year old son and when i was pregnant with him my thyroid went bad. i have miscarried only once and have learned recently that this is normal with a thyroid condition. i just wanted to know if i have any real hope at a normal pregnancy??
Avatar n tn Will I need to get my dose changed higher or lower with pregnancy? I am calling my doctor Monday, or should I call the exchange this weekend? I don't want another miscarriage so I am worried! I had one back in June before my surgery. What do you all think?
Avatar n tn Before my pregnancy, I lost 60 pounds, but I am still considered obese. This pregnancy was a surprise, but nonetheless, a happy one. I have been on Levoxyl since I was 16 years old. I have Hashimoto's. My dosage of Levoxyl pre-pregnancy was 150 mcg (down from 175 mcg when I was at my highest weight). I was stabilized at a TSH of around 2.0 and felt good. I had enough energy to exercise and work (I stand all day), without too much fatigue.
Avatar f tn i have been having problems with my thyroid for the past few years now and just this year have been taking thousands of test to figure whats wrong... i've seen/met doctors after doctors after doctors and still no one seems to have an answer.. i've had all sorts of test done and i keep passing.. but when you look at my neck its clear to see theres something not right. some times theres alot of pain and always alot of swelling..
Avatar f tn I understand exactly why it's a big deal for you when you're trying to conceive, however, it's not the levothyroxine that's causing your period to be late; it's being hypothyroid. 12.5 mcg of levothyroxine is a very small dose - basically a starter dose. Did your doctor indicate whether s/he might be planning to increase your dosage, after a certain amount of time?
Avatar f tn It looks like you really need to increase your meds. 3.5 is too high for most of us. Furthermore, pregnancy increases demand for thyroid hormones, as you can see because your TSH went up to 8.45 while pregnant. Your doctor should be monitoring your thyroid hormones very closely during pregnancy and increasing meds as needed. First, however, you should have him adjust your meds so that you are starting out with good numbers before you get pregnant.
Avatar f tn Hello I'm 18 year's old & been with my boyfriend for a very long time I've been going to the doctors and taking home test they did ultra sounds and urine test and everything else it keeps on saying negative tho, I haven't gotten my period since September 25th so 2 months I'm sometimes a week late but not this late and i keep on going to the doctor's and still showing negative?
Avatar n tn Being male, my experience with pregnancy is somewhat limited, LOL, so I hoped some other member might respond. However, I will try to provide as much info as I can. First let me give you this quote. "There is also evidence in the literature that levels above 2.0 during pregnancy can potentially complicate pregnancy, and that upper level normal TSH levels can inhibit fertility. For example, in early 2005, Drs.
Avatar n tn As far as I know synthroid is safe for you to take while you are pregnant.I was also diagnosed with a pregnancy induced hypothyroid condition after my daughter was born last year and I'm pretty sure once you have it it's for good (unfortunately) make sure you have your labs done regularly because an uncontrolled hypothyroid while you are pregnant can be dangerous to your baby..also, exercise is the best thing to stimulate your thyroid..
Avatar n tn First you may get some responses that are not exactly nice because this is a pregnancy board with women who are pregnant or trying to concieve but you should go see your doctor and see what they say.
Avatar n tn I HAVE THYROID AND I'M ALSO DIABETIC AND NOW I'M PREGNANT WILL I BE ABLE TO CARRY THE BABY FULL TERM?
Avatar n tn Went to an endocrinologist and he diagnosed me with hypothyroidism in January. Then I was put on thyroid meds which they increase gradually. In July I found out I was pregnant even after endocrinologist said not to get pregnant now. So I was super worried. I then had no choice to leave the beta blockers which controlled the heart rate and he increased my thyroid dosage and also put me on cyclogest progesterone 200mg twice vaginally till 12w. I'm now 11w3d.
Avatar f tn No - the ectopic was not likely due to thyroid problems. With future pregnancy attempts, keep TSH in the 0.4.2.0 range when trying to conceive and during pregnancy. With the history of graves ask OB to check TSI (Graves antibody) in early third trimester -- if VERY high, there is a risk of neonatal graves (although this is very rare).
Avatar f tn Hi there. Well, yes. You still could be. If you ovulated later than normal so that it is still too early to detect on a home test even though it is late for your normal pattern, then yes. Once in a rare, blue moon, a woman will have a negative test and really be pregnant. But also, periods can be late for a variety of reasons, stress, gaining or losing weight, illness, hormone imbalance and thyroid problems to name a few.
2180858 tn?1337716153 If you have hashimoto's why did they not already have you on thyroid medication?? It sounds like they were treating your hashimoto's with cortisol instead of thyroid meds---am I understanding that right? If they keep your thyroid levels sufficient with the hashimoto's, ideally you should be able to go off of the cortisol. did they do a stim test to test for adrenal insufficiency---i noticed you referred to it as adrenal fatigue in your first post.
Avatar n tn Yay - gorgeous multiple mother. My twins are now 7 months old and I've been diagnosed as hypothyroid (potentially Hashimotos) in the last month. Twin pregnancies are an enormous workload for your body and immune system. I've been researching with little luck in regards to the thyroid challenge a multiple pregnancy causes. If I find anything, I'll post it. Any questions about the journey please feel free to PM me. L. Sara xo.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's before I had any children. I, too, wondered if I'd have conception problems. I had my first at 26 without any difficulties. However, I had a long period of infertility after that, and then had two more kiddos - one at 33 and the next at 35. My last pregnancy was quite difficult, with a great deal of discomfort and then pre-eclampsia. I'm not sure that's really related to the thyroid stuff, though.
Avatar n tn s typical, however, to maintain higher levels of thyroid hormones when one is pregnant than when one is not pregnant, since thyroid hormones are essential for the growth and development of a fetus. Thyroid hormones must come from the mother for, at least, the first 14 weeks, until the thyroid of the fetus kicks in, but after that, the mother must help provide adequate hormones throughout the pregnancy.
Avatar n tn I would advise a visit to your MD and ask for a Complete Blood Work up, A thyroid panel including TSH Free T3 and Free T4, and a Test for Blood Sugar. The fatigue could be a drop in blood sugar or Thyroid imbalance, Do you eat sweets often, sometimes when people eat a high sugar diet they crash in the afternoon and early evening. A complte blodd work will tell in most cases.
