Please ask for this important test if you are TTC
So I've always been healthy. Had my daughter 5 years ago at 25 without any issues. Went on birth control then stopped it in July to have my second child. I was so optimistic I'd have my second quickly like my first. I told my gyne I'm planning on having another and basically she said it can take a few months after stopping bc because ur body is adjusting with those hormones..well after a few unsuccessful cycles, I thought it was always odd I'd spot for 3 sometimes 5 days before my period. After 4 cycles I finally got pregnant!! But I started spotting again and at 6 weeks I miscarried. It's been awful an I'm still depressed an emotional. And I know it wasn't a fluke like mismatch chromosome Yada yada.. I pretty much said I want blood work I know there is something wrong with me. Like you was I having spotting before my period that's not normal.. so my progesterone was tested and came back a bit low, but my THYROID levels were high. 4.6 then repeat at 5.3! That's hypothyroidism which can cause miscarriages. They want u to be .1-2.5 @ the beginning because your baby needs your thyroid hormone for brain development, without enough ur baby can either miscarry like mine, or later on have cognitive development issues, still birth, premature births..ect. so fortunately there's meds u can take to correct it and take pregnant. But.. if only I knew I had a hypothyroid at the beginning I may not have gone through this pain. And wonder what is wrong why am I doing everything right and I'm not pregnant
?! Why did I loose my baby?! I would not be depressed right now. so please if you are TTC just ask to get your thyroid checked to save yourself from having a broken heart every month when your period comes and to worse loose your baby.
