Hashimoto's is an auto-immune system disorder. Basically, your immune system is creating antibodies which are attacking your thyroid gland. Since your thyroid gland is not producing enough hormones, your pituitary gland is sending out TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) in an effort to get your thyroid gland to produce the hormones.
Hypothyroidism is typically managed with a tiny pill taken daily: Levothyroxine is a synthetic hormone (such as Synthroid) or there is Armour (which is dessicated animal hormone). Some people take another pill along with levothyroxine such as Cytomel which is used for those who don't convert the levo enough. You can google all of this for more info. I could type for hours.
I've read that miscarriages can result from a high TSH level and/or from the thyroglobulin antibodies. Most doctors advise conceiving *after* your TSH gets to around 1.0.
Since you were dx'ed with Hashimoto's, I assume your doctor checked your thyroid antibody levels.
Do you know what your TSH level is? Also, did your Dr. Rx anything?
Oh, also...a lot of cysters have hypothyroidism.
