Hypothyroid and high antibodies and iodine levels

3 replies

Josieandthecats · 25/01/2023 11:07

Hi everyone, I found out when I was 4 months PP that I was hypothyroid (doctors think it could be post partum thyroiditis and I'm hoping the levels will even out)

Atm my levels are within range and I'm on 50mg levothyroxine (have been for 4 months since I found out).

My iodine levels are very high 1200 ug/L when the range is 20-299 ug/L as are my antibodies levels (Anti-TG was 31IU/ml and the range is under 4)

What does this mean? Im so scared. Is there anything I can do about this?

Any positive stories?

I had my tsh level checked and my tsh is 0.2 I have read that to have a stable pregnancy and to conceive your tsh levels needs to be between 1 and 2.4 the months I conceived my tsh levels was 0.71 with my misscarriage at 8 weeks the month I had a chemical my tsh was 0.60 I haven’t been able to conceive since I believe it is because my tsh is so low I have tested negative to Graves’ disease and Hashimoto’s disease, lupus and celiac so the endocrinologist done a thyroid scan with iodine and said my thyroid is inflamed so suspects Thyroiditis but said there’s no treatment what’s so ever to get my tsh within range and that Thyroiditis has to go away on it’s on I believe it’s reacurring Thyroiditis and won’t resolve on its own so there for my tsh will not rise If it’s not treated can anyone help me or point me in the direction of endocrinologist that will treat a low tsh or prescribe me something to help me I have read ladies that was prescribed cambrazole I think that’s what’s it call and thyroxine was able to get there tsh stable and high enough within range to conceive please help me
