I had a MMC a couple of weeks ago. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 18 months ago but suspect I have had it a lot longer and I am on levothyroxine.
I spoke to my gp and told her how scared I was about miscarry img again so they did a blood test for thyroid antibodies for me. I had a call yesterday from a doctor who said the level was '6' so they wouldn't consider it an autoimmune problem.
My question is if it isn't autoimmune then what has caused my thyroid to not function properly? I have no relatives with the condition (and they have been tested! History of psoriatic arthritis, sarcoids, addisons disease and leukaemia in immediate family), I have never had radiation therapy, never taken any thyroid inhibiting medications and haven't been diagnosed with any other condition.
Just feel a bit lost and don't really understand why my body isn't working.
