Just curious if anyone has experience with being Hypothyroid and very newly pregnant. I've read a bit about how being hypothyroid can cause miscarriages, and that getting your levels checked early is pretty important. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this.
thanks!
Ack! Sorry for the typo in the title, can't figure out how to change it...

I am hypothyroid and from my info regulating thyroid levels during pregnancy more so in the first trimester is very important. So, yes you should take it and continue to monitor it.

No first hand experience or knowledge, but my friend was hypothyroid (or hyper I never can remember) and I know she was on meds to regulate her thyroid since the first trimester. She went on to have an uneventful pregnancy(her 2nd) and now a bubbly 3 year old girl. Good luck!

Back when I was TTC and was diagnosed with Hashimotos, my endocrinologist told me that I was to call her as soon as I got a postisitve pregnancy test. She upped my dosage of Levoxyl immediately and tested me every 6 weeks.

OP here, I think I posted this the day I got a + HPT ( over eager
) about a month ago. I had my levels checked within the week and they were great. My midwife will continue to check them regularly.
Background: I was diagnosed with Graves 15 years ago, had RAI to treat. So am now hypo, have been on Synthroid since then.
All seems to be going well. Thanks for the feedback.

My doctor checked my levels several times during the pregnancy. Funny enough, the only time I haven't had to take synthroid was when I was pregnant. Totally normal levels the entire pregnancy but I had to get back on synthroid right after giving birth.
