I have had 2 miscarriages and a stillborn baby girl at 24 weeks in 2005. I was dx with Hashi's and antiphospholipid syndrome after the stillbirth. DH and I have been trying to get pg for over 15 months since the last loss and TTC our first child for almost 3 years. After almost 2 years of being on Synthroid I finally decided to switch to Armour and within the first full cycle on it I got pregnant!

For this pregnancy I am on 120mg of Armour thyroid meds, progest. suppos, estrogen, baby aspirin, prenatals, fish oil, selenium and will start 40mg of heparin.

It's hard for me to get excited about this pregnancy even though I have been obsessed with getting pregnant for so long. I am so scared of another loss. This is my 4th pregnancy.

Anybody experienced/ing anything similar? Any words of wisdom?
