Hi Nise! I'm good...just waiting to see the recurrent mc specialist. The July schedule has not come out yet, but they promise I will be on it. They better be right!! I've already wasted 5 months seeing the wrong doctor!!

Oh no, hun. How the hell did that happen. Honestly, I hate going to the FS I end up telling them what's what. I went just over a month back and he forgot I was there for my thyroid test and just went into this splurge about how the Fertility part of that hospital was closing down and would I prefer to go to this one or that one - I said I didn't think there was much point going to either of them since it was perfectly clear they weren't gonna do anything!!! and by the way am I having a thyroid test or not?

 

[HappyAuntie]

here I am!

 

[padbrat]

Nise I have a dodgy thyroid... am on 125 mcg a day and yet they have never tested my thyroid levels when I am pregnant....

My sister is a nurse and asked an Endinchronologist... bad spelling... and he said that thyroid issues could cause m/c and I should always be checked and closely monitored..... I am convinced my thyroid is to blame...

 

[glitterqueen]

hey i am here ladies!!
I am convinced i have a thyroid prob as well ... docs keep saying its fine but i still think its not- i have all the symptoms and one doc even tried me on tbs anyway but paniced and made me stop when i felt a bit funny on them as she said she wpuld get into trouble with other doc in practice if they knew she prescribed them when bloods were normal. plus my mum had underative thyroid. think i will ask for test again or referral to endocrologist but that will prob be months and i don't have months!!!

Doctors- PFFFFFFTT!!!!! Well, when I was referred to this last doctor it was after my ectopic surgery which was my 3rd pregnancy. I guess my original doc thought I would need IVF and the doc she referred me to is a wonderful IVF doc. Well- obviously mr problem is not getting pregnant....So- anyway, that IVF doc in passing mentioned something about a Dr Baker but never said anything else. So two more losses later, I finally I took the bull by the horns and called to see who this Dr Baker is and lo and behold she is a specialist in a few things one of them being recurrent losses. HALLELUJAH!!! I talked to them today and my appt is JULY 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY YAY YAY YAY

So you ladies that think you have an undiagnosed thyroid problem- what are some of your symptoms?

 

[glitterqueen]

great news Amos-- a doc who knows their stuff at last good luck with that. i googled underactive thyroid and i matched 11 of the 12 symptoms- heavy periods , extreme fatique, thickening of skin, puffy face in mornings etc. I have fibromyalgia and i read that quite a few cased of this were actually misdiagonosed and where in fact thyroid related and a blook test doesn't always show it!! just need a doc to think outside the box now! xx

 

[Nise]

Amos that is fab news hun and only a couple of weeks till you're appointment - I really hope she comes up with some good answers and an awesome plan for you.

With regard to the thyroid symptoms, well I don't really have any. When the test result came in the first time they made me hold my hands out to check they weren't shaking (they weren't and don't) also asked if I got breathless, palpatations or panic attacks - I don't get any of them either. The only thing I get is that I really feel the cold - when everyone else is sweltering in summer heat I'm just right! Since I live in cool to cold England, I've always blamed my Australian skin I was built for heat.

Just thought I'd let you all know that I am 11dpo O today and am contorted with all I have crossed. Hope everyone is cool and dandy
