Low Thyroid-again!

Hello,

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease (hypothyroidism) 21 years ago. I have taken 3 blood tests since January to check the TSH all 3 times has shown my thyroid to be low. So today my dr. increase my daily dose to .137 (from .125 prior to that I was on .100) and I am to see the dr. in 8 weeks. Prior to this I have never had a problem with my thyroid, I have always had my TSH checked and it has always been normal. Anyone else experience this? Anyone know what might be the problem? Dh & I are ttc and I think this might be the reason that I am not pg yet. Do you know if that could be true?

Sorry for all the questions, I am just frustrated,

Heidi (hopefully my new meds will help me gain weight and keep me awake lol!)

Hi Heidi,


Welcome to our board.


You have managed to go a long time without problems even though you do have Hashimoto's.
