I went in this morning for my third set of Beta's this morning. They went down from 285 back to 156. I am to stop the Prometrium and hopefully things will continue naturally. Sinec my beta's are so low hopefully things will continue to go down.

At this point I don't know what DH and I are going to do. I guess your thryoid plays a big part in having a healthy pregnancy. Since I don't have thryoid it might be to hard to keep it regulated to have a healthy pregnancy. I know when I was in the ER on Friday they said my thyroid levels were low. I just had doctor's appointment with my regular doctor and my endo doctor and both of them said my levels were ok. So I don't know what happened or if my doctor wants to keep my levels low.

How do you handle lossing a baby twice or more? It was hard enough losing the first baby.

Please don't turn off your siggy's if you reply to this.

Stacey, i'm so sorry your having another loss ....I've now lost 3 and honestly, it doesn't get any easier...Also, because you don't have a thyroid doesn't mean you can't have children...I've asked my OB and my endo and both said yes woman do have babies after their thyroid is out...I also talked to my new OB the other day and she said it was better to have thyroid levels on the high side (meaning higher than they should be) while TTC and pregnant. (((hugs)))

[.:Shortcake:.]

HUGS!! I am so sorry your going through this again. I have had 6 losses with 7 babies and like Megan said it doesn't get any easier. I wish there was something I could do or say to help you. What I can tell you is let yourself grieve for your baby, for your loss. If you ever need to talk please don't hesitate to PM me hun.

It doesn't get any easier, even after you've had a healthy pregnancy. Any loss is hard. You can have a healthy pregnancy without a thyroid though. My sister in law ended up with thyroid cancer while pregnant and after having her baby, they took her thyroid out. She had another baby, then the cancer relapsed and she had chemo. Since then, she has had another baby. It never gets easier. Hang in there.

[missy123]

Like the others said, it does not get easier. I am so sorry

[Toots216]

So, so sorry for your loss. I replied to your other thread with some info about my natural m/c - I hope it helps. Just know that you WILL feel better with time. I already feel so much better than I did a week ago.

Also, FWIW, my mother had her thyroid removed when she was 19 and had me at 33, after she was told she would likely never have children (not related to the thyroid - she had severe endo, and it was the 70s when there wasn't much they could do for it). Don't lose hope - know that better days are ahead.

Is your OB willing to refer you to a RE? My OB knows how hysterical/paranoid I am, and set me up with an RE immediately. They can do all kinds of testing to see if there is an underlying issue causing your losses.

so sorry for ur loss

I am SO sorry! I know how much meaning this pregnancy for you and my heart is breaking.

I had my daughter with no thyroid. You really need to have your levels checked a lot. During the first 3-6 months I was going in a ton. After the first trimester it slows down a bit, but you really need to keep your levels up. Is there an endo that you can see while ttc and hopefully during a pregnancy? It is super important to keep your levels up. Like I said before, my endo upped my dose just because I am ttc. He pretty much said call him before my dh when I get a bfp lol. I will get a blood draw immediately to check levels and I think every week in the beginning.

A friend of mine had 4 kids successfully with no thyroid, she was on synthroid but they constantly had to switch her dosage... she's done having kids, but she did it even when they thought she couldn't have anymroe than her 1st.

There is hope, but you definitely need your thyroid to be monitored along with the meds constantly during this time... which is what my friend told me she had to do

I'm extremely sorry honey hoping that after a little more bloodwork and some medicine adjustments that you can get and have that sticcky rainbow baby!

[*SamF*]

It doesn't get easier. After 6 losses it still hurts just as bad. But you can have a healthy successful pregnancy with thyroid issues! They do have to monitor your thyroid levels a little closer because pregnancy can throw them off. But I have one beautiful son after being diagnosed with thyroid issues.

Time makes the pain more distant but it is there, and while multiple losses aren't easier, with time the pain isn't as raw.

Big Hugs!!!

It doesn't get any easier, but that doesn't mean you give up hope. There are plenty of sucessful post loss stories of women getting their miracle babies. Hang in there, get a handle of that thyroid and good luck trying again....

[ohnicole]

I am so sorry for your loss

[asunflower]

No it does not get easier but you keep the faith and move forward if it is what you truly want. Time does help the healing process but focusing on the future and your next steps help a great deal. I am so sorry for your loss and hope you can get some support through this difficult time.

[Pame£a]

I'm so sorry hun. I'm glad to see that there is hope though and I pray that they get you monitored so you can get your rainbow baby.

loads of hugs

[StaceygirlPa]

Thank you so much ladies. Right now I am just feeling numb. I don't know what to feel. I know I am lost on what to do. We were told we wouldn't be able to get pregnant on our own and we did. It doesn't seem like we are having a problem getting pregnant we are having a problem holding on to them. My Ob doctor thinks my thyroid levels have a lot to do with it. My regular doctor dosen't seem like my thryoid has anything to do it. My regular doctors watches my thryoid levels better then my endo doctor. I called my regular doctor yesterday and talked to him. The Er and my OB both think my thyroid levels are low. My regular doctor said my levels are where they are supposed to be. My endo doctor dosen't seem to care. I told my endo doctor that we were trying and he didn't say do anything different with my meds. We are changing insurance in Jan so I might wait until we change and go to a different endo doctor in Jan.

My Ob wants me to go back in on Friday for another HCG blood test. After Friday I guess he will just check it once a week to make sure it is going down.

On a Happy a note. Dh and I were talking about lossing another baby. He said the only things that matters to him is that I am healthy and going to be around to share his life with him because he loves me so much.

[asunflower]

It is great that you your DH is being so supportive. You need that right now and so does he. Be there for each other and love each other and they will figure things out with what is going on soon I am sure. Hugs!

[SillyKitty]

I'm so sorry, Stacey. Your DH is so sweet. Thank goodness you have someone supportive to go through one of the hardest things in life with you. One of my best buddies has no thyroid and delivered a healthy son (with close monitoring by her endo) and is ttc again.

((Hugs))

I'm so sorry for your loss.

[LindseyE117]

I am so sorry for your loss. This loss for you sounds exactly like what happened to me with my loss. (Hospital,cyst on ovary -they thought it was an eptopic for me though-,levels slowly going down). Although I know nothing about thyroid functions.

I know words cannot describe what you are feeling right now, just know that there are others on here that feel that pain with you. Don't give up hope, it will happen.

[StaceygirlPa]

Thank you ladies. This loss has been hard but this loss also just makes me mad because I can't fine out any answers from my Regular doctor or my endo doctor about my Thyroid.
