Thank you for correcting me. I was trying to find the right wikipedia page, and I just couldn't do it. My attention span is much shorter than usual.

I ended up having a miscarriage Now I'm paranoid to get pregnant again. Maybe it was better for me when my thyroid was untreated.

This connection between thyroid and m/s is fascinating to me. First I have ever heard of it.

I was dx'd with hashi's hypothyroid 3mo pp with baby #1. (My naturopath believes my unecessarean caused the severe hormonal imbalance that in turn caused my hashi's.)

For baby #2, I was on levothyroxine, 150mg and then 175mg. (Most people have to increase the dosage during pregnancy.)

For baby #1 and Baby #2 I never had one iota of morning sickness.

Now, I am on Priority One Thyroid. ( a generic form of armour) I am 4 mo pg with baby #3 ... and am having yucky morning sickness!

HMMMMM.....

Oh - also remember to monitor your symptoms, not just your labs. The new range of ok is 0.3 to 3. (not 5 like it used to be) That said, both my friend and I feel gross unless it is less than one. Listen to your body, not just the "numbers" your doc tests for.

Good luck mamas!!

I'm so sorry for your loss, ekblad9. Be kind to yourself in the next few weeks.
