Am confused and wanted to know if anyone else have been in this situation.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroid in 07 and for the past 6-8 months the hypothyroidism is under control and am presently on 100mcg levothyroxin. However when I went to my OB as I had only 2 AF's in one year I was diagnosed with PCOS and prescribed 1000mg of metformin (as I wanted to start to TTC) in 08 nov.
I got my 1st AF in feb after being on met for 2 1/2 months and my 2nd AF in mar after 34 days (which was how my cycles were before I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism). I was on clomid 100mg on both AF cycles.
Now comes the confusion as the results from the hypothyroid blood work shows that my T4 levels are high (13.9, normal should be with in 10), T3 is 146 and TSH is 1.03 ( both are within the normal range). So now my doc (he's not a RE) is thinking on reducing my dosage of levothyroxine but I heard that during pregnancy the T3 and T4 levels will increase? (Spoke to my sisters, who are both docs themselves). One of my sister who is a OB said that only if the TSH goes up ahe will adjust the dose and thinks that I should wait to see if my AF does show up next week and then take a HPT if it does not show up.
My questions to everyone and anyone who has hypothyroidism and have been or are pregnent are
- What was your experiance?
- Were you'll seeing an RE?
- What were your T3,T4 and TSH levels?
Thank you for reading my looooooooooong post.
