doctor won't treat me
| Wed, 11-03-2004 - 4:53pm |
Hello, I am new to this board, and I have a question for you. I have been trying to concieve for over 15 months, and I recently had some bloodwork done to try to find the cause of my infertility. My TSH came back at 4.9, and everything else looked good. My acupuncturist told me that I needed to get treated for hypothyroidism, but when I went to the doctor today she told me that was still within the normal range and she would not treat me. From the research that I have done, my understanding is that anything over 2 hampers your ability to concieve. I also have all of the classic symptoms...weight gain, hair loss, fatigue and I already miscarried twice. I went back and told her that I wanted to be treated and she said she would do another blood test..which I had done today, and if it was still 4.9, she will not treat me. What is your opinion? She thinks it's anemia, rather than hypothyroidism..even though the labwork is right in front of her. My other question is, when you get on the medication will it help with weight loss, I have always been really really skinny, so this is so weird for me to be gaining weight like a bear.
