Ts25 will they be able to manage it with medication? I'm not familiar with thyroid issues.

I'm already on medication. Rises like this happen a lot so I'm used to them changing it. But in pregnancy high tsh can cause all sorts of issues. Luckily it seems it was caught fast so an increase in meds will fix it right up.

My midwife just called. All bloods are clear but my thyroid TSH is at 4.1 and she's concerned and wants me to see my GP.

I've had no thyroid for a decade. Outside of pregnancy 4.0 is top end of normal. Google has 10 different answers for normal during pregnancy. It was fine 5 weeks ago. Aaargh. Worried now. My past miscarriages were likely caused by TSH issues

Worrying for you I'm sure, but you've got an early heads up so hopefully all will be well. I'm sure it will be.

Thanks. Just a call I didn't need today haha.

Just found NHS guidelines and it should be lower than 2.5. Not too shockingly high. Mine has been in it's 20s before and I felt fine.

Just checked with my sister and she was at 6 in her first pregnancy and 12.4 in her second whatever that means. She was fine through both, as were my nieces xx

That's a relief GG thanks. My meds are well controlled so I think it's a panic over nothing

It's my scan day tomorrow, not until 3.30 so got all day to wait as well! Feeling quite nervous this time, will be glad when it's done x

 

[Crinkles90]

Ts25 ahh!!! I'm glad they caught the increase early! Will you be on the increased dose until birth? Or can the levels of tsh drop back down?

Beauandhamish Good luck with your scan today! Hope all goes well! 3.30 will be here before you know it.

It's August!! ((Well has been for a couple days now but still lol) lots of scan dates coming up! Not long now and we will all be in tri 2 x

 

[ts2573]

Crinkles it will need to be monitored to the end. Dose will change as required. But that's normal for me haha. It's a temperamental condition.

Beau yay for scan day. Can't wait for pics.

Mine still seems do far away. 15th.

I've had pain in my nether regions for almost 6months I think that's when the problem started. I went to the toilet the other day and went as I usually do. When I finished and pulled my trousers up I felt like something was stuck. Investigated and there was a bright pink lump literally outside my lady bits. i had dreaded this too as my step mum suffered a uterine prolapse when I was a kid after having her kids and had to have a hysterectomy.


Aww beau!!! Beautiful scan picture!!! Glad all went well! I'm guessing a girl too! X

 

[Wednesday]

Ah bless you it's so scary and horrible being poked and prodded down there xxx

 

[Crinkles90]

Yep not a fan of that at all!! I have my 16w midwife app wndnof this month so should get all the details of my consultant appointment. I actually look forward to that!


How is everyone feeling?

 

[ts2573]

Feeling ok this morning but still on 100% rest to keep my bp down. Still wracking my brains as to how it hit 168/92. I wasn't stressed or anxious. Don't smoke. Eat healthily and exercise.
