UGH - Thyroid Level Stabilization is a PAIN

[Daisy_Girl]

So I was initially Dx hypothyroid about a year ago, TSH levels were elevated (7). I was put on 25mcg Synthroid. Took for couple months, it made no impact on TSH levels - they remained 7. This was why my doctor wouldn't clear me to try to conceive, because my levels weren't stabilizing. Dose was upped to 50mcg. 6 weeks later, levels were stabilized at 4. They have remained there for a few months. Everyone was happy.

I got my TSH done last week, went to the doctor today to discuss results. My levels are TOO LOW NOW!!! They went from 4 to 0.3 !!! Doc said way too low for me. If they keep dropping, I will be HYPER-thyroid - not healthy for me or the baby. So now my dose of Synthroid was dropped to 37.5mcg. I get retested in 6 weeks.

Doctor thinks my levels are changing because I am PG. The low levels of TSH probably are why I have been having trouble sleeping too.



But I am not stressing - all will work out fine, I know it. It is just frustrating that things can change and you don't even know it. Amazing how hormone levels can change at the drop of a hat!!!! *sigh*

Weird upside ....... the new nurse told me my weight by accident (I do NOT want to know my weight, I always tell them that). I have only gained 6 lbs. I seriously thought I had gained about 15. I LOOK like I have gained 15lbs! lmao And I just started my 2nd trimester! YAY

I have two kids. I know for a fact that it puts your body through some extreme changes. Really extreme. Just make sure you use a lot of moisturizers on your abs to avoid stretch marks. I got them with my second one. Totally flat abs but cant show the bottom of them off due to the battlewounds.lol
Sorry to hear about your tsh levels. At least you are aware that there is some problems and you can work on them.
Good luck!
BTW, what are you having> Boy or girl?

I hope to escape bad stretchmarks - my mom did not have them, and they are about 75% hereditary. But that won't stop me from using lots of moisturizer, lol. While I am hopeful I will escape them bec of genetics, I have a feeling I will get a few.


Don't know it boy or girl - it is about 6 weeks too early for that
