I've been managing my hypo (hashis) for 12 years and have been on Armour for all of it. I just moved cities a month ago and just got my positive beta a few days ago along with my high TSH. I did a FET on 11/21 and have been on tons of estrogen and progesterone which I'm sure is playing a role in all

Hi I had a full thyroidectomy in 2021 and have been on a dose of 137mcg of Levothyroxine. I did a TSH test on 11/30 and it was 7.45. My doc increased my dose to 150mcg and told me to repeat TSH test on 1/13. Does that seem like an appropriate increase? My first prenatal appt. Is 12/14 and I am hopin

Hi, apologies if this information is readily available. I saw a similar post below where one person said they do 4 weeks.My doctor is useless and I have to tell him exactly what testing to do and what pills to prescribe. He told me my first pregnancy checkup should be at 24 weeks. I ignored that a

So I had a routine primary care physician (pcp) visit during my first trimester. My TSH level was low (never had thyroid problems before) but my T4 level was normal.

Hello! I'm newly diagnosed hypothyroidism, after having covid for the 3rd time in April I continued to catch every tiny cold or sinus infection possible and was completely exhausted. Finally in June my cycle was only 19 days, which was disappointing because I was sure I was going to be pregnant. I
