Hashimoto's while pregnant
by wunderlux, Sep 29, 2007 08:30PM
Hi
I am currently 4 weeks pregnant for the first time and I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease last year while being screened for why I was not having a period for 6 months.
Thankfully I was able to conceive with the help of estrogen pills and a HCG shot at ovulation. My questions is, I just got my TSH levels back and my TSH is at 4.52. I am currently taking 25mcg of Synthroid daily and in July my Thyroglobulin AB was 98. I have been reading so much on miscarriages because of having Hashimoto's- I know I should increase my dosage of Synthroid to get my TSH down, but am I doomed for miscarriage because of the numbers I have already? Does anyone know if these antibodies numbers are of a high concern? Any information would be greatly appreciated....I would love to be armed with knowledge to talk to my RE about and hopefully prevent anything from happening.
Thanks in Advance!
