Thyroid
Hi ladies. First off, thanks for taking the time to read this. Haven't posted before so here goes....
I'm a 41 year old woman who met the love of her life online. We got married 3 years ago and have a 2 year old daughter. I'd pretty much written off having kids off as my life plan had been to get married at 25 and have 3 or 4 kids by the time I was 30 (insert laughter here) but then i met my hubby and having kids became a possibility again. I was lucky to get pregnant after only 2 months of trying.
We knew we wanted to have another child sooner rather than later and we got pregnant again when my daughter was 9 months old.
Unfortunately it resulted in a MC. It happend at 11 weeks but apparently the baby was about 6 weeks old in size. Anyways, had a d&c.
Afterwards....not sure how long after now i started feeling off...emotionally, mentally and it turns out it was my thyroid.
I was put 100mcg of levothroxine. 6 months later when my hormone levels still abnormal the endo upped it to 125 when i told her we wanted to try again soon.
But i still have some physical symptoms. The major one being sweating and joint pain. From what i have read recently of meds aren't rightnin cause symptoms of hypERthyroidism. Even though my last blood work (May) showed levels were normal the fact that we've been trying since April and no luck and still not feeling right has been stressing me out.
I'm thinking of asking for a reduction in meds to see if it changes anything.
I'm not sure if anyone can relate but thought I'd share my experience in hopes someone can shed some light.
Sorry for being so long winded😘
