Good morning ladies!Quick question...Any of you pregnant ladies has hypothyroidism?and/or take prescribed levothyroxine?

I'm glad I could help. Your health is nothing to mess with, especially when you're growing a baby!

@nanz13, I just got back from my appointment and I've lost 4 lbs they told me I need to gain it back...

@woskibabe, thanks alot!you have been very helpful!i will def ask my specialist.

@nanz13, the levothyroxine has more additives, so it is less actual thyroid hormone. But I don't know what the additives are. You may have an allergy to one of the additives. the synthroid is more expensive though.

@liamsmom2013, do u have any orher side effects?

@woskibabe, can u explain to me thd difference between levothyroxine and synthroid?if u know.

.5 and I'm more tired they don't really know but I didn't have my thyroid issues dignossed till after my 2nd miscarriage so I've been doing pretty good there going to be checking my levels a lot during the pregnancy

@nanz13, I can't take the generic, levothyroxine... my body doesn't use it properly. I had to switch to the brand name, synthroid. Maybe that is the problem. Ask your doctor about taking something different than the generic.

@woskibabe, wow!what a story...sorry about your losts.I was diagnose 2 years ago and prescribed with levothyroxine (75mg) which i had an allergic reaction to it.my face got swollen and it made me feel weird honestly...so i simply stopped taking it.once i got pregnant my OB sent me to a specialist because she recommend that i needed to take something bc my hormone level was low.so i started taking a lower dose (25mg) prescribed by the specialist.i started taking this on my secound trimester.Im honestly not sure if i should keep taking it because i get migranes everyday.i know headaches are part of pregnancy but i did not had that issue before...was your first daughter born healthy or had any medical problems??what about your secound?

@nanz13, I was unmedicated the 1st pregnancy and my daughter was born at 35 weeks. I was on synthroid with the 2nd... and 17-P injections and my 2nd daughter was born at 38w2d. I had my thyroid removed and was extremely hyper via meds which caused me to miscarry a set of twins at about 6 weeks. The pregnancy prior to this one, I was slightly hyper which my Endocrinologist said was fine but my water broke at 21 weeks. I was hospitalized at 23 weeks and sadly our son had a cord accident at 28 weeks and we had to say good bye. I am being extra careful with this pregnancy. My OB just decreased my meds which I am following even though my naturopath doctor said I am fine. I am 15 weeks today and starting 17-P with this pregnancy in another week, give or take a couple days. I was taking 150mcg but my OB, who is also a reproductive endocrinologist, dropped me to 125 due to my blood work. I am being retested every 4-6 weeks.

@woskibabe, did u take any prescribed drugs?or levothyroxine?

I was diagnosed at 21 years old... have been through 3 previous pregnancies with it... not including this one... or a previous miscarriage.

@liamsmom2013, thank you for commenting.how many mg do u take?and do u have any side effects or anything??

I do my dr told me not to stop taking it and not to skip a day!
