3rd miscarriage in a row

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was wondering if any of you have had pregnancy problems that have

then been sorted by changing to Armour?

I have just had my 3rd miscarriage over the past year, all missed

miscarriages at 10/11 weeks (one Sep, one December & one just very

recent). Each time 'the baby' stops developing at around 6 weeks, just

as the heart should be starting to beat. I kept a close eye on my

thyroid levels & increased my dose slightly immediately on getting a

positive pregnancy test. I had a blood test as soon as possible & also

went to see an endo at around 9 weeks (he was happy with what I was

doing).

Why I still wonder about my thyroid is I have 4 healthy children & no

history of miscarriage prior to diagnosis of Hashimotos when my 4th

was 6 months. Only 1% of women have 3 or more miscarriages so it isn't

really that common. Obviously the hospital is now starting all sorts

of tests, but I still think my thyroid might be the key(despite

feeling ok on levothyroxine).

I will read up about Armour as I know very little about it but would

love to hear from anyone who may feel that a change from levothyroxine

to Armour made the difference for them.

Thanks

Hi , have you been tested for auto-antibodies? this is why you are miscarrying.I had 3 misses many years ago now, but doctors did not no what the problem was.you need to take selenium 200 per day and get the auto-antibodies down by suppressing the TSH hormone to 0. then and only then will you have a good pregnancy.the auto-antibodies attack the thyroid , which causes higher blood pressure and it also speeds up the metabolism which is the cause of premature births and miscarriages.hope this helps angel.Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.

Does Selenium really bring down the level of antibodies? I have high antibodies and have been taking selenium, 200mcg for a few weeks now. Its interesting to know it helps with the antibodies
