i just read on my thyroid med not to take with iron..

but my pre natals have iron.

why don't doctors realize these things dammit?????

Take a deep breath hun! You can do this. Just take your thyroids meds in the morning at the same time everyday 1-2 hours before you eat or drink anything other than water. Then take your prentals, etc. in the evening with your dinner. I take my thyroid meds every morning at 6:30am, don't eat breakie until 8am or so, and then my prenatals at 6pm.

Krippy- 16 WEEKS! Whoa!

krippy thanks so much. i am getting so overwhelmed lol. i set my alarm today to make sure to take my thyroid med same time. i woke up at 7 am, took it, went back to sleep and accidentally slept till 10 so i didn't eat till 10 15. i hope that that is okay..

So, my fellow iron/calcium pill pushers What routine do you use?
I take 2x of iron in the a.m. (on an empty stomach) and my prenatals/folic acid right before bed.
I cheat with my calcium and take it only twice a week... on the weekends only

I also have my BP medication to take twice a day with food, so I take prenatal/BP pill with breakfast, calcium with lunch, and iron/BP pill with dinner. Were you instructed to take the iron on an empty stomach? Mine says to take it with a meal!
I forget the calcium sometimes, but I figure that's the least crucial...

I use Palafer...and it does say take on an empty stomach. I've never had any constipation even tho' I take two doses a day. It really works well with my system.


Welcome back Leinzlove!

 

[lch28]

my pre natal says to take on empty stomach, 2-3 hours after eating or 1 hour before.

 

[lch28]

Krippy i have a question, did you find out about your thyroid during pregnancy or had you already been taking the med? what do you think of my level? my tsh was 5.9 . does this seem crazy high to you?

The calcium and vitamin D I have to take it twice a day so I take it morning and night. Baby aspirin and prenatals also in the morning. And the injections around 10am every day.

Welcome back leinz!! I can't wait until Tuesday too.

Krippy i have a question, did you find out about your thyroid during pregnancy or had you already been taking the med? what do you think of my level? my tsh was 5.9 . does this seem crazy high to you?

I developed a thyroid problem after my pregnancy with my angel, RJ. Thyroid problems and pregnancy often go hand in hand bc of the hormones. I had post partum thyroiditis. I was hyper for a few months and now I am hypo but I may also have an auto-immune disorder called Hashimoto's that causes my thyroid to be hypo. My endo is still observing me and figuring out what I have...It is all about watching the trends of your levels.

I don't think 5.9 is crazy high as the cut of is 3...I know of a girl whose thyroid level was 11 in early pregnancy and had her meds adjusted and she and the baby are doing fine. Mine were 11.9 when I had my miscarriage and it only took 4 weeks on the meds for them to be adjusted back to normal. It can be overwhelming but the key is that you on the meds, your doctors caught the change and the first tri is the most important time to be on them as the baby does not develop its own thyroid until 12 weeks. I have my levels checked every 4 weeks to make sure as well! Hope that helps...Please ask if you have any other questions!

Ich28- Love Krippys advice!

Thanks doll! I can't believe I am this far already! I have been feeling movement too so it has been amazing! How are you?

Here are my bump pics from Friday, 16 weeks!

 

[lch28]

beautiful bump hun!! i am jealous!! i can't wait to get a bump! at 16 weeks i was just beginning to show. that is a relief that it is not too too high. i just hope it doesn't cause a mc =[ my doc is really confident plus i have made it to 7 weeks. i just wish my next appointment was sooner, it is not for 3 1/2 weeks.. =[ i hate waiting. its so hard! i just hope the meds work for me. they said they check it every 6 weeks. i am taking 50mcg levothyroxine. do you think i should request to have it checked sooner ? in case i need to up my dosage?? i am wondering if i got it from pregnancy, because with my angel baby i got it checked three times and it was normal. i didn't carry to term and went into early labor at 23 weeks . maybe i got it after that?

 

[sevilla24]

Krippy - awesome bump!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lch28]

any bump pics sevilla? i love to see bumps lol

 

[Krippy]

Thanks Sevilla! I am loving my bump right now too!

Ich: If you would feel better having your levels checked every 4 weeks then request it for sure. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want hun...

It could be post partum thyroiditis. I had my thyroid checked during and after RJ and my levels were normal too. I would request to be referred to an endocrinologist if you haven't been already. They are specialists with thyroid disease and they will be able to diagnose you further.

 

[lch28]

thanks hun will do that because i really don't understand much about it. so whens the gender scan?!!??!

 

[Krippy]

My detailed scan in July 25th but we are staying team yellow again. Everything about this pregnancy is going to be known even the birthday so we are trying to keep at least one thing a surprise!

 

[tlustica]

Ich- I wish!! But my coworker is further along and has the same midwife and says I won't get another till my gender scan which most likely is not for another 2 months ahhh hahaha
Cath-I'm so sorry for everything ur going through and I'm sending hugs xoxo
Krippy-ur bump is so stinkin adorable!!! Love it!!
Seaweed- I am in LOVE with the gummies!!! I took them ttc and then ran out and had to substitute for the "normal" kind and I absolutely despise them. Empty stomach im guaranteed to get pukey and full stomach I'm guaranteed to still get nauseous. I insist on finishing this expensive bottle tho hahaha. If I can remember the name of the gummies they actually had higher doses of folic acid, all the same iron and other vitamins at similar dosages and added dha and they tasted so dang good I looked forward to them like candy
Leinz- yay ur back!! It's just plain weird without u!! Haha

I have an ultrasound that day too and will find out the gender. I would stay team yellow but dh really wants to know and since we have one child now I feel it would be easier to prepare her for a brother or sister. And maybe help her transition her from spoiled brat to big sister.

But next baby I plan to stay team yellow. Whether dh likes it or not.

 

[Bumpblues82]
