Pregnant but spotting?

Iv just found out I'm pregnant again on wednesday after a miscarriage 2 month ago but iv been spotting since ovulation which I usually do (treating hypothyroid at the moment) But it hasn't stopped. Ill only be like 4 week period due date was yesturday. But experiencing dark brown also beige brown wen I wipe not a lot at all. I had spotting before I miscarried last time but my thyroid was 30 the still not below 4.5. Scared Its gonna happen again. But my thyroid was 12 a few week back so got put on higher dose so thyroid should be about right now

You can google them in your area. You can also talk with your insurance provider. They will give you a list of them that's covered.

You should see an endocornologist. Regular doctors even gynecologist don't know much about thyroid stuff. Definitely find a different doctor.

No the doctor doesn't know yet. Won't be able to get an appointment now till Monday. I don't see an endocornoligist. My doctor has been helping me with my prescriptions and blood work after struggling to concieve was diagnosed with hypothyroid.. But 2 month ago she knew I was pregnant but I found out on Friday i was! then had a gush of red blood on the Sunday night which went back to spotting. Told her on the Monday. All she said was take a test in a weeks time to see if its still positive and the fact that my thyroid was still 30. even tho she told me to carry on trying! :0 Didn't say nowt there and then about upping my prescription or blood work. Then I sadly miscarried on the Thursday.

Does the doctor know your pregnant? The endocornologist will know how much to give you. It's a lot different and has to be exact when your prego.

Wow thats high. The question is cos mine wasn't stable before I got pregnant. If they checked my level now they won't be sure how far to up my dose cos I don't go for my bloods for another 3 weeks to see how far the 100 has took it down.

Thank u for replying. Yes we was unable to concieve for 1 year. Found out I had a TSH of 93 a few month back in march. Started 50 mlg of levothyroxine went down to 30. Got pregnant that cycle but sadly miscarried at 4 weeks 5 days. Then got put on 75 mlg and it went down to 12. Iv now been on 100mlg for 3 weeks so still unsure wat my TSH is now.. Ill try and get to the doctors wen I can cos I know ul need higher medication wen pregnant.

Your tsh has to be below a 2 when pregnant. I don't have a thyroid so I know all about hypothyroidism! You need to have it checked asap bc they would probably increase it some more. I get mine checked every 3-4 weeks. I spotted at 9 weeks but it was from my uterus expanding and my placenta forming. I'm 20 weeks now. Brown spotting is ok bc its old blood but a lot of red is not. I hope they get your tsh straightened out. It will make a huge difference. I changed doctors in Feb. Bc they could never get it below a 15 and my new endocornologist changed my meds and I got prego 2 weeks later. We tried conceiving for a year. Sorry this is so long. If you ever have questions you can ask me. I know all about thyroid problems especially during pregnancy.
