Congratulations that’s wonderful news. 😃😃Did you not get your thyroid checked before you started ivf. 1512 is a good number seems quite high considering you had transfer on the 9th. Did you have 2 embryos put back in? xxxx

[Same0508 in reply to Faith103]

Hi yes I have checked by thyroid in Jan 2020... That's when I statrted my (50mg)levothyroxine it's 4.2...i had 4 frozen embryos out of which 1 is transferred n other 3 are freezed.... I had a fresh cycle before this in March which is unsuccessful.... Thanks...

Very good results for 1 little embie. If you had your thyroid checked before hand and your clinic are advising you do another one just go with it they know what they are doing. Just relax and enjoy xxxx ❤️

You usually require to up your dose of thyroxine in pregnancy so completely normal! Congrats on the good results.xx

Hi, Congratulations! I've been told that I'll need my TSH monitored in pregnancy (if I'm successful) as it's often affected and my medication will be adjusted accordingly. There's some helpful information on the following website which may help:

Hi, were you already on levothyroxine before your transfer? I have thyroid issues too

[Same0508 in reply to Lilly12255]

Hi yes had a mc in March 2019 at 11 weeks with undiagnosed thyroid... I didn't know it until Jan 2020...so started in Jan 2020 that's when I started my ivf process...

[Lilly12255 in reply to Same0508]

I am not a doc but I also have hypothyroidism. What the advice is on website s is to increase your dose of levothyroxine by 30% straight away to avoid another miscarriage

[Lilly12255 in reply to Same0508]

You should also do a new Thyroid function tests asap

[Same0508 in reply to Lilly12255]

My doc said to double it... She is a gp... I think I shld ask my fertility specialist I guess... Thanks love

[Lilly12255 in reply to Same0508]

I would double it then if I were you as too much would do less harm as too little. I had also a thyroid driven miscarriage before, very unnecessary

[Same0508 in reply to Lilly12255]

Hi... Done waiting for results....

[Lilly12255 in reply to Same0508]

Have you just done TSH test or also antibodies?

[Same0508 in reply to Lilly12255]

Hi the tests which were done are tft and thyroid antibodies... The ruseults were normal my tsh is 2.3 which is under normal levels should take a test again after my dating scann on July 9th 2020....

[Lilly12255 in reply to Same0508]

Sounds good, looks like you are in good shape! Good luck with implantation

Congratulations! I have hashimoto and my tsh was close to the upper normal limit (around 4). The fertility specialised endocrinologist put me on minimum dose levothyroxine before starting ivf, to get the tsh below 2.5; it took around 6 weeks. I was told to monitor tsh and other thyroid markers every 6 weeks after becoming pregnant. They did not advise to change the dose without monitoring. My tsh further decreased during pregnancy, keeping the same dose. Good luck!
