Hi Clementine :]
What you wrote is what I feel should be done, my 1st cousins who also have Hashimoto both miscarried their first pregnancies and seconds were really 'heavy' on them (they lost 10 and 12 kg during fist 6months, but babies are healthy and running around now
of course they were checked monthly by their endo ) I mentioned this to the doctor who checked me on Monday regarding my spotting but she said that it is not really important right now - I was bit confused about it, cause in my family all we really recently talk about is TSH and pregnancies... one of my cousins just had a baby on the 23.12.2015 :]
I was diagnosed in August with high antibodies and TSH 4,65 my endo checked my thyroid (scan) everything is okey and prescribed me pills. In December I was supposed to see her but she took some days off and of course that was when I was back in town so I just missed her. I did test my TSH level and went to another endo cause my period was late - he said that because my TSH was 0,07 due to too high dosage of my pills that I should get it back during the next few weeks while I stop taking my medication, he prescribed me a smaller dosage and said that on the 5th of January I should start taking them again, if my period is not back to go and check if I'm not pregnant. This is when I got my pregnancy tests positive :]
Until now I dealt with all my medical issues in my country (we are back there at least 5 times per year) but since I found out I'm pregnant I went and signed to the clinic here in the UK but they said that it will take up to 10days until I'm in their system and could schedule any appointment with a GP. When spotting started I went to the 'walk-in-centre'. Next Tuesday 10 days will pass and hopefully the same week I will get to see a GP who will take care of me.
My sister in law who is 8weeks pregnant took a pregnancy test today and got a negative result - she just did it to take some photos with a positive stick but instead it got a negative result... she rushed to the clinic to see if they can schedule her an appointment with her GP this week - any advice regarding her matter? Could she also have miscarried and not know about it?
Some crazy days we have right now... I just feel so confused and lost in all of it...
