Hashimoto and miscarriage
by Nora441, Jun 23, 2009 09:12AM
Hi,
Im new to this forum and wanted to ask anyone out there if you have been diagonised with hashimoto and went on to have a healthy pregnancy ?
I had two early miscarriages last year, after some blood tests the Doctor found my thyroid was underactive and my antibodies were very high. I have been on thyroxine (50mg) for three months now and went for my checkup , my thyroid levels are now normal but cause of the antibodies I have to bee on thyroxine forever.
Im scared if I get pregnant I will lose the baby again and was wondering if anyone with hashimoto was on thyroxine through their pregnancy and went on to have a successful pregnancy & healthy baby.
Thankyou

I have hypothyroid. I am 38 and just had my first baby 5 months ago. I was on insulin and thyroid meds during the pregnancy. Both were increased throughout the pregnancy. My baby girl is very healthy. Yes, it is possible to have a healthy baby even with hypothyroid. But your levels need to be ideal (TSH about 1 and FT3 and FT4 high normal range before getting pregnant). When pregnant you will need testing of FT3 and FT4 every 4 weeks (My dr doesn't test TSH during pregnancy, says it's not a good indication of actual levels). Then we adjust thyroid hormone levels every 4 weeks to try to keep FT3 and FT4 high normal range. I ended up doubling the thyroid meds during the pregnancy....
Please ask me any questions... best wishes
Sally
