Is anyone hypothyroid and on synthroid while TTC?

Question

I was diagnosed hypo a month and 1/2 ago, been on synthroid that long now too. 
My 1st cycle on it I had insane pregnancy symptoms ( like super insane!! Giant painful boobs, heightened sense of smell, metallic taste in mouth, noticeable bloating in lower abdomin) but a BFN and a heavy AF to end that cycle 😒
Has anyone else had that happen?
Or would anyone else care to share their experience on synthroid while TTC?
I haven't been back to get labs done to see where my levels are at now. 2 more weeks until I go back
Thanks

Answer

It takes 3 months from first taking synthroid for you to know if that dose is right for you. However, after those 3 months, if you change doses, it only takes a week or so to respond. Do you know what your TSH was? I've had hypothyroidism since I was 10. I actually have Hoshimoto's which is an autoimmune hypothyroidism. My first pregnancy wasn't planned but with this one it only took 2 weeks of trying. Like everyone said, once your levels are stable, TTC shouldn't be a problem because of thyroid. As for the symptoms, hypothyroidism can mimic PMS.... Mood swings, depression, fatigue. It's like everything is magnified. But try not to jump to conclusions because your hormones are unhappy right now. Hopefully you get pregnant right away anyway but try not to be upset if it takes a little bit while your body levels out.

It will take a bit for your body to adjust. They keep my TSH level at 0.05 or lower

Answer

I have had hypothyroidism for 15+ years and been on synthroid since then. I didn't have trouble conceiving, because once the levels are stable, I was told it is as if there isn't a problem (as long as they stay stable). You're pretty early on after being diagnosed. It may take some time for your body to get used to the synthroid. I know irregular periods are part of TSH level problems, so give it a bit of time with stable levels and things should normalize.

I had thyroid cancer in 2011 and had a full thyroidectomy and I am on thyroid Armour. My doctor says that ask soon as I find out that I am pregnant I have to do blood work to see if my medication dose needs to change.
