2 miscarriages

Hi all,
I'm a new member to the group.Here to share my story with u all.I had a

miscarriage in May 04.Three months after that I was diagnosed with
hypothyroidism.My endocrinologist asked us not to try for another
pregnancy until my thyroid levels became normal.So we ttc from april 05

and conceived in may.But when my gyno tested me forHCG levels it was as

low as 266.She asked me to wait for one more week to repeat the beta
tests.But I began to bleed before that.I was not at all prepared for
this loss,considering my thyriod issue being fixed.Just trying to cope
up with the grief.


Has anyone in this group experienced a similar problem?If so which
specialist am I supposed to consult and what are the possible
treatments?


hoping to get a reply

I haven't had experience with your condition, but my condolences on the loss
of your babies. I hope you find the information you're looking for.

I'm really sorry to hear about your losses! My m/c's were not thyroid
related, but I have Graves' disease and have been reading a lot about
this. If you are hypothyroid, the best treatment is indeed stabilizing the
TSH levels before ttc. However, in some women, the normal range is not yet
high enough to ensure a healthy pregnancy. You may want to target a TSH
value somewhat at the top of the normal range. The best person to help you
with this is your endocrinologist.

When your thyroid values are normal, it is hard to tell whether the last
m/c was related to your thyroid, or just plain bad luck. So first take
your time to grief, and then have your TSH levels tested again before
actively ttc.

HTH!
