under active thyroid and pregnancy

[sambrads]

just want to speak to people who like me are taking thyroxine and are pregnant .

i was sure this preganancy i would be the size of a house due to the fact i have an underactive thyroid and have always been heavy and unable to lose weight easily.

how is everyone else feeling ???

well i have not been too bad i have not had to change my thyroxine much . i get my bloods done every 4 weeks and all seems ok.
how many weeks are you???

what dose of thyroxine are you on???

LeonieD - are you in the UK? I've not heard of GPs prescribing armour here

well i was ment to be on 125mg of thyroxine but for the last month i have been taking 200 mg as i thought i was taking 100 mg and a 25 mg but was taking 2 100mg

not sure how i am going to tell the doc as they will probably tell me to go to 125mg again but my levels came back ok after taking 200mg getting bloods done again on wednesday so will find out if they are still level .

LeonieD - thanks for that link

sambrads - sorry for the hijack

what sort of symptoms would i have been feeling???

i think i have been ok the only thing is i have not been puting any weight on lost nearly 2 stone due to morning sickness and now have only put 10pound on so not even close to weight i was before i got pregnant

i only got underactive thyroid after having my ds and i put on nearly 4 stone stone with him

i feel edgy everyday being pregnant hahaha

thanks so much for your help you really are full of information

i went to the nurse yesterday and she took my blood. i told her i have been taking 200mg and she said that my last results were spot on so it is doing me no harm and i have to see the doctor on wednesday to discuss these results
