Hi everyone. I am new to this board. Three weeks ago I went into preterm labor at 19 weeks. The baby was to young to survive the labor unfortunately. I just read that anti-thyroid antibodied can play a role in miscarriage. (They still consider it a miscarriage at 19 weeks even though I had to go through labor to deliver the baby.) My doctor has no idea why this happened, she thinks it could have been bacteria. Now I am wondering if it was something else.

Anyone have any thoughts? I have hypothryoidism and it is under control.
