just diagnose with Thyroid T4 and have a questions regarding IVF..Part II
by Silvee716, Jul 10, 2006 12:00AM
after I told the doctor about the thyroid he sent me to have some blood work done, and since I never received a called from his nurse I just assumened that I was ok. Well I had laporoscopy done, did the third FET, I got preggo with Identical twin girls but sadly I lost my babies on my six month gestation to Turner syndromes. I remember when I was preggo that I would feel my heart beating really really fast, now I am wondering if it was maybe because of the thyroid and I remember that my arms would get numbed when I would lay on them, my feet got really really swollen, started on my 4th month of preggo. I am just really not liking the doctor that I went to for IVF. I already didn't like him becasue of how little I saw of him and when he would see me, it would be for about 5 minutes and that was it. I did my third FET on 4/28/06 and they put in my last 4 Frozen embies and I was positive on my pregnancy test but 3 days later my HCG level dropped and they told me I had a Bio-chemical pregnancy. Now I am wondering if maybe because of my thyroid I lost the second pregnancy. Now I just don't know anymore and I am just wondering if this doctor would have really cared about me as his patient I probably would have been more careful and maybe I would have been given some kind of medication for this. Can anyone here help me out please.. I want to try again on having a baby and I will definitely see a different doctor, but now they tell me that if I am planning on having a child that I need to see what I can do about my thyroid.. I haven't seen the specialist for this yet

You need to be evaluated by a thyroid specialist to review the history in detail and do specialized testing.
