am i just 'normal' tired? (underactive thyriod n pg)

[lolablu]

so, its 9pm and without my afternoon nap I feel like I could just close my eyes. I have literally done nothing today. went out for about an hour, thats it.

Im concerned because before my BFP last week they had only just upped my thryoxine dosage.

Am I just 'normal' tired, or should I ring gp tm and ask for another blood test to check my thryroid levels? I have a booking appt in 2 weeks where they will anyway...
(o, im 5+3)

I couldn't keep my eyes open in the first trimester (underactive thyroid too). It has eased a bit.

If your worried phone GP or midwife and ask whether they would want you in sooner or if booking in will be soon enough!

My thyroid is normal (afaik) and I felt so exhausted during the first 15odd wks of both pregnancies that it would take me 15mins to do a 4min walk, I would collapse at the bottom of stairs and have to take a breather before dragging myself up, would regularly nap for 2-3hrs in the afternoon and still not be able to keep my eyes open in the evening. That said I don't think the tiredness kicked in until about 6-7weeks and peaked at about 10weeks. So 5+2 seems quite early for it but then everyone is different.

If you're concerned see your gp.

I think it takes a month or so for an increased dose of thyroxine to work its way through to test results, so as crap as you feel it might be best to wait as your new dose might still take time to kick in.

I was shattered from BFP pretty much and my thyroid was under control.

Not sure thyroid is part of routine bloods as my doc did my first blood form and she knows I'm hypo - so that would be a good question for the midwife. You should also be referred for consultant monitoring too in case your thyroid goes loopy. My doc did that too.
