UPDATE:

I had my first ultrasound today and baby is measuring on time and has a heart rate of 180! I’m so hopeful that this bean will stick! TSH was a little elevated and that freaked me out, but my doctor wasn’t worried.

I had a miscarriage last year and found out I had Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, an autoimmune thyroid disorder. There’s no cure, just management through hormone replacement therapy. I’ve been working with my endocrinologist to get my levels regulated and this is the first month we tried to get pregnant again. I got a BFP at 9DPO! I’m so anxious I’m going to lose this one too 😞 even with medication I have a higher risk of miscarriage and preterm birth. There’s no words to describe the devastation I felt after miscarrying. I already had one healthy boy 3 years ago and was expecting everything to be fine again. How wrong was I! I now know how common pregnancy loss is and how little support there is out there! I’d love if anyone who takes the time to read this to send positive vibes my way! I’m hoping I can relax a little and not let my fears get in the way of celebrating our good news.
