I have had hypothyroidism for many years now. I did the surgery and take my pill every day. Once i got pregnant  i started to realize a the complications that it can cause. They did my blood work and my tsh was 19 and i had to remind my doctor  to check it. Now am being monitored more they increased  my meds, but my hair is so damagaed more than ever before.am just praying it doesn't  harm the baby.

I used to have hypothyroidism and a few months before my fiance and I conceived I quit taking all medication. Once I did this I was finally able to lose weight and my hair stopped falling out. My doctor did all the normal blood work when I found out I was pregnant and saw that my thyroid had corrected itself and is working perfect.
