TSH Levels

Hi! I had couple of miscarriages, last one was in March and its an MMC. My Obgyn had me tested for lupus antiphospholipid, rh factor, chromosomes test and they all came negative. They didn’t find anything that could cause a concern. However, my primary doctor had me tested for thyroid and vitamin D. My thyroid level (TSH) has come to 4.29 mL/Ul while the range is 0.4-4.5. Has anyone had tested for thyroid during pregnancy, if so what are the optimal levels suggested by your obgyn?

Optimal for TTC and pregnancy is below 2.5 here in Australia! Have they tested your full thyroid panel too?

oh really! That’s a drastic difference! No they have not checked T3 and T4. In the report, i saw a note mentioned as T3 and T4 are not being tested as the TSH is in the normal range.

@Pooja I would really push for it. Also t3 and t4 are function and not antibodies there is a whole heap of other antibodies. I know alot about realised TSH I was medicated at 3.8 but mine has also been 21 and 17! I have an appointment with an endocrinologist and specialists so far think I have hypothyroidism we caught early. My function and antibodies are all fine. Hope you can get to the bottom of yours! A naturopath may also be able to help to switch up your diet to help it. But just google it, lots of info of optimal range and what you can do to help 😊

I would say get tested for Thyroid antibodies. Sometimes autoimmune thyroid disease can lead to a miscarriage. TSH alone is not enough.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
