Anyone have supply issues due to thyroid problems?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
To make long story short, this pregnancy took a long time to conceive, i had one chemical pregancy oct. 2009, and we had been ttc since may 2009, and finally conceived july 2010. Just prior to conceiving, i had blood tests done because i was having extreme fatigue etc. and dr. thought it may have been possible thyroid issues. Well my numbers are within normal range, but pretty low i think:

my T4 was .9 ng/dL (normal range .8-1.8)
my TSH 3rd generation was 1.80 mIU/L normal is .4-4.50

do these numbers look okay? I know many people find they suffer from thyroid problems but are still within normal range.

I am fairly sure that my supply issues are from a primary cause, and just exploring whether the thyroid issues could be part of the primary problem.

ETA: I had extreme fatigue for month prior to conception, but right before conception began 1000ius of d3 and about 450 mcg of iodine, i've continued the d3 but decreased iodine to 150mcg. I my exhaustion disapeared during that time and i have had more energy while pregnant

I know I feel my best around a TSH of 1. Unfortunately I've found it is a lot of experimenting. I have had enough milk for my DD all the way through and still nursing now but I do keep my TSH on the lower side. It always took forever for my numbers to change after the symptoms.
