Too Much Thyroid Med/Trying to get pregnant

by cara2479, Oct 16, 2007 07:25PM
Back in July my TSH was 7.3.  At the time I was on 25 mcg.  My dr increased my dose to 100 mcg.  A month and half later my TSH dropped to 0.25.  He told me to keep the same dose, but skip one day a week.  I just had it rechecked (about 6 weeks of skipping one day a week).  Now the TSH is 0.01.  So, I feel I'm obviously on to much med.  He told me to now skip two days a week.  Is that really going to make a difference?  Can TSH levels go negative?  I am also trying to get pregnant.  Is it safe for me to get pregnant.  I'm very frustrated w/ that because I've been keeping my blood sugar good for a year now.  And then when I wanted to start trying in March, this whole thyroid thing came up.  I got pregnant in June, but lost the baby at 6.5 weeks.  I really want to concieve/give birth to a baby.  My fear is that because I have diabetes and thyroid disorder and a previous miscarriage, I will not be able to.  Has anyone gone through this?

I had asked my doctor about getting pregnant with thyroid meds.  I am suppressed to less than .01 purposefully.  She told me that she would decrease my meds and let my TSH get higher for a few months at a time if I wanted to conceive again.  She said that with my low TSH levels, it would be very hard to conceive and if I did likely for a miscarraige.  I haven't tried yet, but I thought maybe this would be helpful info.
