Trying to get pregnant with Hypothyroidism

[Allycat2]

Just wanted some feeback on anyone who has hypothyroidism or knows someone who has it and was trying to get pregnant. I am waiting for my levels to come down before I start trying however I dont want to get my nerves in a tizzy about this before I know more about it. I just found out about this 6 weeks ago and have been on meds. The doctor just increased my meds to help bring the levels down even more. I wanted to start trying this month but need to wait 6 more weeks. Let me know of any stories (good or bad) with anyone with hypothyroid. Thanks

I have Hypo Thyroid and I was pregnant but I didn't know. I had a miscarriage and since I haven't thought about having a baby,  if it happens it happens if not only God Almighty knows. Put one thing I will tell those who want to conceive...Just dont think about it and let it happen naturally. I thought i was pregnant when i saw my period only for 3 to 4 days and its was light and dark brown. I read so much about stories of short brown and light periods and negative pregnancy...Sometimes you have to not think about it and let God give you a baby girl or boy...Just in his time. I have faith.  I will someday no matter how old i am I will have a baby.  Blessing to those who are planning. Be Blessed and think positive.

I gained 65 pounds in 6 months :( Thats how I knew something was wrong. Went to the doctor an bam - I have the hypothyroidism. I feel like crap all the time. Always tired, sluggish, kind of moody. My DR just recently increased my meds as my hormone level was still too high but I feel worse being on this new dose. I felt a lot better on the previous dose but im guessing my body is just still trying to regulate. I am hoping to get it all straightened out. I am wanting to soon have a baby. Have been slowly trying and nothing..

Your post matched me perfectly. I am going thru the same things you were going through back in 2004. I was told I had hypothyroidism about 6 weeks ago and my meds were just recently increased. I will have been married a year in June and went off of my birth control in September! Its crazy that we have almost the exact timeline!
My doctor never told me that I needed to wait or anything. As a matter of fact, my doctor never told me anything about it :( I've found out everything by searching on the internet.
I was just curious if you had any problems conceiving after you had made yours posts? And if you had a perfect, heathy, pregnancy?

hey my name is Melony an i have hypothyroid as well everyone is a little different when it comes to levels only YOUR doctor will know your body like my doctor says I'm fine but my levels are well over 200.0 which is suposable  fine lol i cant conceive or ever have kids she said and if i do ill have a miscarige or the child will have a birth defect. i found out i had hypothyroid when i was 16 and i am about to be 21. and i only weigh 120 so everyone is a little different, come to find out you can switch as well. people can be hypothyroid for year then become hyperthyroid. it all depends on what your body can handle to regulate your body to what your body considers normal. if that makes sense i hope what i said helped an didnt confus you even more

Finally someone with similar problems as me. We are also TTC for about a year, I have been getting regular periods since forever although i had a long adjustment time after going off the pill, not sure if Im ovulating (dr said chances are that i am, because I can set a clock to when my period starts). Last time my TSH levels were checked they were alright. Whats really upsetting me is everyone else seems to be popping kids out no probs, but we've practically been trying for longer. Are you going to a doctor or specialist yet?
