TTC or Pregnant with an under-active Thyroid.

[hippychick66]

Hi,

We were talking about this a lot on the charting thread and thought it would be good to start a separate thread.

There's about 3 of us at the moment but please do join us too if you are TTC with this added probem.

My results were 9.07 and then a few weeks later 5.5. I'm due another blood test in 5 weeks and hopefully my GP should be starting me on Thyroxin soon.

Quite worried cos the NHS guidelines say your numbers should be a lot lower when pregnant. still i haven't got that BFP yet so I guess I'll worry then.

ladygonegaga and Bessie26 - hurry up and join me here .

Bumping this -- not sure it's active any more, but I want to join in! I'm waiting for my thyroid levels to balance out again (TSH was too low) before TTC again (probably starting February). Lost the first pregnancy after spontaneously going into labour at 18+6 weeks, no particular reason found. My thyroid had been tested at 18+2 and found normal, so that connection is unlikely... Anyway, just wanted to check in and say hello and revive this thread.

Sorry, forgot to say I take 125 mcg of Levothyroxine right now. Have been hypothyroid for ages, diagnosed at age 16 (am now nearly 31).

Well! Am pleased to say we had our scan today and all looks good with baby no2

GP upped my dose of levothyroxine from 125mcg to 150mcg when I got my BFP. Am having bloods checked every four weeks but so far levels are stable.

Fingers crossed.

Hi all,

I know this is an old thread but I have recently been told by the doctor after having some blood tests that im borderline underactive thyroid. I feel rubbish all the time, really tired and groggy which then leads me to being snappy etc. Im just fed up. How can I get the doctor to diagnose me and put me on medication? Thanks xxx
