Last week I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, my TSH level was 5. My doctor put me on meds immediately as I am actively TtC and already had 4 miscarriages. We now assume that the miscarriages are due to my elevated thyroid levels. My doctor said I don't need to put TTC on hold as my levels weren't too high and the medicine should be able to provide adequate balance. I'm now 6dpo and have been on meds for close to a week. I feel better, not as tired and many of the other symptoms seem to be disapating. Now my question is....how long does it generally take for thyroid levels to balance out? I'm so scared that I'm pregnant again and will miscarry if my levels didn't decrease much. Plus I've been reading that thyroid levels can increase a lot in early pregnancy!!! My doc isn't sending me for bloodwork for another 5 weeks! This seems like a long time since I am TTC. What does everyone think? I'm driving myself nuts looking for answers :-/.
