Any tips?

Question

Hello everyone! This morning I got my second beta test. Friday my level was at 142 progesterone 17 and today They told me it’s 944 and progesterone is 21. They said the numbers are looking great. Only thing is my thyroid level is really high. They said it should be below 2.5 during pregnancy but mine is at 3.67. I will be put on thyroid medication but are there any other tips? I would like to know if any of you had this problem.

Answer

Congrats on the betas!!

Answer

My TSH always goes up when I am taking meds for IVF.  They actually increased my dose the day of my transfer (went from less than .5 to over 4 in weeks).  It is mainly just monitoring periodically through pregnancy.  The ranges they want vary by trimester.  I am getting labs 2 weeks after the last set to see how the adjustment went and then probably every month.  Also, you typically take the med in the morning on an empty stomach and wait 30 mins to eat.  They originally forgot to tell me not to take my prenatal until 4 hours after.  Congrats on the numbers!

Answer

So your thyroid goes hypo? I have hashimotos antibodies so I get monitored during pregnancy. In the beginning my TSH typically goes hyper. The endocrinologist told me that HCG acts as TSH and causes that to happen in first trimester.
