Miscarriage & Antithyroid antibodies

Miscarriage & Antithyroid antibodies

Hi - I have had two early miscarriages at 5 weeks in the last 3 months. I had m/c testing done and the only thing that showed up is that my antithyroid antibodies were abnormal. My TPO is 467 and my thyroglobulin is 695. It shows that my thyroid was functioning fine. My Thyroid (TSH) was 3.13 in May and it was 2.28 in July. But I have read that it is best to be lower than 2 in pregnancy. I don't have any symptoms of hypo or hyper thyroid.

Also, I am wondering if I should take thyroid medicine to help combat the antibodies. My doctor just said to come in when I get pregnant and they will give me prednisone if my levels are high. I am worried that this is not proactive enough.

Does anyone have any advice or information on this? Thanks so much!

this is good info on this web page which might help you. I also have TPO Ab and had a miscarriage at 8 weeks. Thyroid medication does not help the antibody levels, I have been on Thyroxine for years. Selenium supplementation is supposed to help lower the antibody levels.

Good Luck
