IVf and hashimoto thyroiditis

[one and two]

Have just had a ET with DE and got a BFN. Just a couple of days after ET I had a metallic taste in my mouth and extreme thirst and was sure I was PG. Then a couple of days later I got a terrible fever, hot and cold flushes and even fever blisters. After that no taste and thridt subsided. I am worried that with Hashi thyroiditis my immune system attacked the embies and am concerned about more IVF going forward. Any advice?

Hashimoto's won't attack your baby, but it is an autoimmune disease and autoimmune diseases can attack the body. Talk to your doc and explain to her what your concerns are.

What are you thyroid levels?

I also have Hashimoto's. I've had 3 babies with it. It is possible to successfully have a pregnancy with the disease as long as you are getting treatment.

Sorry about the failed cycle.

Sadly my baby had downs syndrome and a severe heart defect and we lost her at 17 weeks in July..
So I am unsure whether my pregnancy progressed with the help of thyroxine., aspirin or was destined to be...
