Ladies make sure to test your Thyroid!

I’ve been really overweight my whole life and they’ve tested my thyroid many times and it was fine. About a year ago I started gaining weight much more quickly. I finally went to every specialist and by the 3rd dr they tested my thyroid again and I was diagnosed with hypothyroid.. I started meds and am now 10 weeks pregnant. It wasn’t the only factor but I believe made a difference. Please be your own advocates and don’t let the shame of being overweight stop you from getting medical help!
