Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi, I posted an introduction a month or so ago. I did sadly have a second miscarriage (in a row) & although I understand that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, I am very aware that this has only happened since becoming hypothyroid (after baby no. 4). I saw in an old posting that someone had had problems with miscarriages until taking Armour. Does anyone know if this might make a difference? At the moment I take 75 of levothyroxine one day & 100 the next. My TSH in September was 1.51. When I discovered that I was pregnant both times I upped my dose to 100 daily (I have read all I can find about hypothyroidism & pregnancy - thank you Sheila for the links too). What is the link between low ferratin & hypothyroid? I hope you don't mind all these questions, I don't feel very informed at the moment & would love to know as much as possible before I make an appointment to see my doctor! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi I am so sorory to hear that you have had yet another miscarriage. Life just is unbearable at times. I am happy to tell you that Armour is responsible for many hypothyroid sufferers becoming pregnant. One of our members had a baby a few weeks ago after she had four miscarriages - and hopefully, we might have news any day now that Armour has done it again for another of our members. It is VITALLY important that anybody who is pregnant takes more thyroid hormone replacement that she has taken before. Luv - Sheila Hi, I posted an introduction a month or so ago.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks Sheila, Is it important that Armour is taken or should Levothyroxine be ok? I've just found my results from a few weeks before I miscarried in December - T4 15, TSH 1.92. From what I've read those levels look ok?
