Thyroid and pregnancy

Is there anyone with pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism that has children from successful pregnancies?

I've been trying to conceive for 2 years with one year on ivf. And I'm going to three different Drs to make this happen. I've been pregnant but never made it past 10 weeks 3 times. So right now I'm just looking for hope.

Jdunn,

Have you had your thyroid levels checked? TSH of women planning conception should be in the low-normal range 0.4 - 2.5. Higher TSH makes conception difficult and increases the risk of miscarriage.

PPHP is not a thyroid related illness.

My levels all come back normal. I take 137mcg of levoxyl daily. I'm going to see a productive endrocronoligist.

Jdunn,

Normal is a very broad range. TSH needs to be low-normal 0.4 - 2.5 as I said above. Ask your GP receptionist for a printout of your most recent thyroid results and post them in a new question for advice.

What is your TSH?

Needs to be under 2 but preferably under 1. High TSH is linked to miscarriage and infertility.

Really good info on hyperthyroidmom.com

Maintaining an accurate calcium-phosphorus balance is absolutely necessary for a good pregnancy in hypoparathyroidism. Alterations of the calcium-phosphorus metabolism, during pregnancy, make it more difficult to treat hypoparathyroidism. The treatment is based, essentially, on an appropriate vitamin D intake, with regular monitoring of the calcemia.

Trying to find research papers for you.

What is your Vit D level?

B12 Folate and Ferritin while we're at it!?
