Pregnant

[wowserclo]

So I’ve just found out I’m pregnant - and my Hashimotos is still in full swing.

Any advice most welcome!

Sorry you haven’t had any replies as yet. This is quite unusual. If you have your pre pregnancy results post them. As there’s a certain level you should be under and also have your T4 increased dependent on your trimester. I’ll check back a bit later as your post may have been lost or pushed further down. Ebony

Thanks ebony ! I shall dig them out and post them. They weren’t great I have increased my dose since. Feeling much better now. X

It’s important to be correctly dosed. I don’t have the details to hand so won’t say. But I’ll have a look now. thyroiduk.org.uk/tuk/guidel...

And this:

Others will be along shortly.

Thankyou ebony ! Very grateful for your responses! I’ve just had some results and my tsh is very low, my T3 is very high but my T4 could still be higher! Trying not to let it stress me out. It’s been a difficult two weeks lots of headaches and nausea! Hoping so much all goes well x

That's such fantastic news. OMG. I don't have any advice I'm afraid. I'm still waiting for my TSH to drop so I can start ivf a final time. I have Hashimotos as well, so your post gives me hope. Just wanting to wish you all the best with your pregnancy. Wow x

Thanks for such a lovely reply! My antibodies are yet to budge so I hope it goes well, I’ve had lots of people on forums telling me it won’t so I’m trying to ignore and think positive! Wishing you allllll the luck with getting your IVF x

Hi! Congratulations!!

If you check my last post you will see some great replies from diogenes and others relating to tsh/t4/t3 in early pregnancy.

Basically your tsh can be artificially elevated due to hcg but baby actually needs t4 (it converts to its own t3)

So focus on optimising that. And yes your dose normally goes up 25-50mcg in first few weeks of pregnancy automatically usually.

It can be more mid range from second trimester onwards
