GRRR Dr Appt after M/C

in TTC After a Loss

I had an early M/C last week and saw my Dr yesterday.  I was glad that I saw this doctor rather than the other one that I hate, but found out that I have some strange cyst that they do not even know for sure what it is (and therefore did not really say what it all meant).  Dr put me on higher level of thyroid meds, which will be tested in 2 weeks and said that her really thinks that my low progesterone levels did not have anything to do with my M/C.  I am not 100% convinced, but I am really trying. 

So, in the mean time we have to wait to have another ultrasound in 2 months and cannot start trying until after that -- if he then says that it is ok.  He did talk about trying to put me on clomid at that point if we want to. 

I was pretty okay with it yesterday other than being annoyed that it is going to throw our timing totally off.  I am sad today.Sad

    I'm sorry for your loss. I have thyroid issues as well, and my levels went out of whack in my last pregnancy, so my doctor also elevated my medication levels in order to be proactive before the next pregnancy. You will find a lot of support on this board.

    I guess that I have not really known about numbers when it comes to thyroid levels.  So, maybe you can answer my question.  Why are my levels at 4.35 and they are giving me higher medicine to make my level 2 or under when I am hypothyroid.  I am sure I could google it, but I know that would lead to many hours of reading on the computer.  I have become a little obsessive about reading about m/c and everything and anything that could have something to do with it.

    Ideally if you are TTC, your TSH should be below 2.00 (according to my OB and endo). If your levels are higher than that, they will increase your dosage of medication. I have hypothroidism and they kept increasing my medication and my levels are now .92.

    Hypothyroid is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone. Therefore, your brain is triggered to make more TSH, which prompts the thyroid gland to make more hormone. When you are put on meds, they give you a synthetic hormone that mimics what your thyroid should be producing, therefore bringing your TSH levels down.

    Gosh, that is kind of hard to explain! I hope that makes sense. You can PM me if you have questions.
