Hello everyone, I have just joined this group to see if I can get advise from people that have been in my position , I had a healthy baby boy 2 years ago no complications, when baby was 4 months old I got diagnosed with under active thyroid which got stablished with 75mg of thyroxine , I then to my delighted even though I have very irregular cycles and 9 months of trying conceived on my birthday 12th April 2012 , I had my bloods done and it showed my tsh level of 1.9 which it has always been 1.8 , the doc increased my dose from 75 to 100mg , I then 2 weeks ago had a slight bleed and went for a scan to find out at 8 weeks 5 days the baby had died and supposed to of been 10 weeks 3 days so I had a missed miscarriage , I was heartbroken , I went straight in for a d & c and would love to try again but so scared ,the doc dropped me back down to 75mg and I ring for my bloods today and he said tsh is now 0.26 , T4 is 22 which he thought was quite high and T3 is 5.5 , I just want advice on whether is it safe on trying to conceive on them levels or does the t4 seem high to anyone , also should I wait for one cycle after my d&c to try to conceive or would u try now , I mentally and physically feel fine , sorry for the long thread but I'm desperate for advice from people who are going through this
