Thyroid

Is anyone dealing with a thyroid issue while pregnant? I've known I had it but now I'm worried since I just found out I'm pregnant and found out my levels are too high again.

Re: Thyroid

  • No thyroid issues here so I'm not very helpful. Just wanted to say congrats on finding out you're pregnant. What's your EDD? I'll add you to the due date list. :)

  • Hi! I have hypothyroidism that I've been dealing with for some months. Are yours high as in hyper or is it the TSH?

  • I have hossimoto hypothyroidism; this is my 3rd pregnancy this year. I'm really nervous because I think my thyroid could have played a roll in my previous lossed. Neither my obo or endo have told me to do anything different but I don't think this is right. Praying for a better outcome this time

    Are you currently taking any medicine (ex. Levothyroxin) to lower your TSH level?

    -----------------
    If your levels are controlled, then it should not be a problem whatsoever. For those of us with thyroid issues, it's very important that your OB monitors your levels constantly to make sure they're in the normal range. Make sure to be your own advocate and tell your doctor about your concern. Some women with thyroid issues get bloodwork done every month while pregnant in case any adjustments need to be made.

  • I just recently discovered I have hypothyroidism, which accounted for a slight weight gain, dry hair and super long periods! I got it treated right away and the symptoms are already better, thank goodness!

    I actually got pregnant the cycle afterward, and am taking a prescription that is fine during pregnancy... So no issues to worry about thankfully.

    Just glad I caught it in time! I had a miscarriage in June and was STILL spotting in August, which is how my OB realized something was up.
