I have had a total of 6 miscarriages (3 in the past year) all 1st trimester losses < 9weeks. I am now 40.
I did have 1 baby (my son) 3 years ago who was born 8 weeks early but is otherwise a very healthy boy. We have been trying to conceive for the past year and a half with no luck maintaining the pregnancies (2 blighted ovum) and one very early loss. Termed "secondary infertility" and unexplained by my current specialists.
I am seeing a "fertility specialist" here and have undergone several IUI with Clomid but none have ended in a live birth. My cycles are relatively normal 30-31 days and ovulate Day 14-16. We have done numerous blood tests but for some reason they have ignored my TSH and not ever done a test for that (why, I am not sure.) My last trip for blood work, I checked the box because I wanted it done.
Here are my test results:
JUNE 17, 2011
(Day 3 of cycle tests)
Estradiol-------------------- 211 pmol/L
FSH--------------------------- 6 IU/L
LH----------------------------- 4 IU/L
TSH--------------------------- 0.02 mIU/L
INR---------------------------- 1.0
PTT---------------------------- 33.6 sec
Cardiolipin Antibody----- NEGATIVE
Anti-nuclear Antibody Screen-----NEGATIVE 1:80
My TSH level prompted the clinic to do further tests
JUNE 24, 2011
Free T4--------------------------------------------- 9.4L pmol/L
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody--------------- 154.6 H klU/L
TSH--------------------------------------------------- 0.79 mIU/L
Hoping that someone can tell me whether or not I have reason for concern with my TSH/Antibodies and impact on a possible pregnancy. I may or may not be pregnant right now (still too early to tell). I believe that I have some sort of un-diagnosed thyroid dysfunction and that this maybe the underlying problem for my pregnancy losses.
Thanks
