I've had no medication other than Thyroxine when needed according to test results.
I am so sorryf or your loss, SuiLuhBao. Hopefully the doctor is able to provide a reason for your babies death and help you get some closure.

Sdornala, good luck with your test results. Just take it easy and know that your doctor will do whats best or you and your baby. Stress isn't good for your little one, so try not to stress.
You're in the best hands you can be :)

Hi, I have Hashimotos Disease too.  My Thyroid doctor monitored my Thyroid function during my pregnancy.  However, I lost my baby at 25 weeks.  We don't know the reason for this yet.  But I am wondering if my Hashimotos disease has anything to do with this.  From what I read online, Hashimotos Disease does increase the chance of pregnancy loss.  

Did your doctor prescribe you any other medicine other than Thyroid hormone?

Your doctor is correct, sometimes your body simply changes during pregnancy.
These test results may be a hint that you could possibly have postpartum thydroiditis once bubs is born, but this is completely managable and will resolve itself in time.

Seeing as it has been caught, your doctor will be able to assess your blood test results and decide if you need to take Thyroxine to manage the levels.
If the baby had been harmed by this, your doctor would tell you and take the necessary steps to check the health of bubs, so don't stress.

I have Hashimotos Disease which is a Thyroid Disorder and have been tested throughout my pregnancy to ensure that my baby is ok... She is growing beautifully and is healthy, I'm sure your bub is fine too.

Good luck :)
