Anyone have a thyroid disorder?

[firsttimemommy2018]

Just found out I'm pregnant and I'm scared because I also have hypothyroidism. Anyone have it as well or know anyone that has it during pregnancy?

I would of had a miscarriage by now if its so important

[firsttimemommy2018]

I would just go to the doctor asap if I was you just to check on the baby

[firsttimemommy2018]

Plus they definitely up ur medicine when ur pregnant so u should see your endocrinologist too

[asheawood94]

But my mom was at least 4 months when she foumd out she was pregnant with me

[firsttimemommy2018]

But with hypothyroidism the first 12 weeks is the most critical in your baby's health

[asheawood94]

ats bad is im at least 8/9 weeks if i am.. my dr even said its possible  my mother in law says i am

[firsttimemommy2018]

Yeah I definitely would. The endocrinologist will want to see you every 4 weeks just like your OB cuz that's what mine is doing

[asheawood94]

Yeah. Maybe it's just me idk but if i miss this months, im gonna try and get a dr appt foran ob

[asheawood94]

No its not my first time.  Ive had two miscarriages before.  

[firsttimemommy2018]

Oh I'm sorry love. I was talking to my endocrinologist and reading up alot and I read that miscarriages are very likely in the first 8 weeks when u have hypothyroidism. All it said you can do is to make sure your levels are really good before conceiving

[asheawood94]

Well im already on 200, and i haven't got a positive result yet, but know im pregnant cus im nearly a month and 3 days late lmao.  And i never missed a period in my life. And im having other symptoms besides the missed period but i also heard some people with hypothyroidism its hard to get a positive result on a test

[firsttimemommy2018]

Is this your first time possibly being pregnant because it is very hard to get pregnant when you have hypothyroidism. IDK about the tests cuz all 10 I took we're positive lol I'd make an appointment with the OBGYN

[asheawood94]

How far are you.  When u found out

[firsttimemommy2018]

I was 6 weeks when I took the tests and found out. Just this past Thursday I went to my endocrinologist and she upped my medication from 175 to 200 and my blood test said my thyroid was on track which made me feel better. I go to the OBGYN for my first appointment this upcoming Thursday

[asheawood94]

You're welcome.  

[asheawood94]

I have it.  Just keep taking your medication for it and u should be fine  just let your dr know and they can make sure you get the right dose

[firsttimemommy2018]

Thank you!!!
