Hypothyroid Mommies come in!

Hey all!  How are you all feeling?  How much has your medication changed since the beginning of your PG.  I was Hypothyroid years before my PG and the level I was on before getting PG was .088, I am now on .125.  So, in essence I've gone up 2 levels.  How about everyone else?

    Hello!!  My thyroid has gotten all wacky too since being pg.  My dosage has only changed by one level....I think I am on .075 now, but they have been keeping a close eye on it.  I was having some problems with it prior to becoming pg, but they got it all figured out before my BFP so hopefully no more issues!  :)  GOOD LUCK!

    I went from .75 to .88 in first trimester, because I felt WAY too tired and they told me my levels were low

    So far my levels haven't changed. I take 75mcg of synthroid.

    I'm feeling like they might be dropping though - I am seriously exhausted. I thought 2nd tri was the honeymoon trimester! Ungh. Sleep

    I am still taking the same amount of synthroid, .50 but I am having blood work next appointment. I have been feeling extremely tired. I also need surgery after the baby is born to remove two nodules (cysts).

    Wow my meds are really high!  I had a total thyroidectomy about 6 years ago.  Prepregnacy I was at 175 mcg and 2 weeks ago they increased my dose on M,W,& F to 262.50 and they rest of the week it is still the 175.  I go every 6 weeks for blood work. They are thinking they will have to change my dose at least 2 more times before delievering and once the baby is here who knows what my levels will do.

    My doc just increased mine from 100 to 125 on synthroid.  He told me it was pretty much starting to shut down.  I started the pregnancy at 50.  I am not as tired with this pregnancy as with my first and I never took the meds with the first so I am sure that is why.  I just wish I did not have to be on it the rest of my life!

    My synthroid started at 50mcg  and I got my TSH down to 0.375 pre pregnancy and now my TSH is up to 12.42 so they bumped my dose to 125mcg. I have been very tired and verly concerned about my thyroid the whole way along. I am getting my labs rechechked this week so I am hoping it is back down esp since I am in the second tri now and the baby is making its own TSH now.

    I went from 75mcg to 100 mcg and now i need to take 100mcg everyday and 200mcg on Sunday.  My levels still weren't consistent before i got pg but i have a new endocrinologist who is really good.
