She's sending me for a thyroid ultrasound on Wednesday because she still thinks it's that, and I should have results by the end of next week. This waiting game stinks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077989 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 21:32:16 +0000 bunnylove08 1077989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't over analyze, the stress will make it harder to conceive. I had thyroid cancer and had my thyroid removed about 7 years ago. I'm on synthroid and have a beautiful daughter. I was able to conceive and was able to drop the weight quickly (a lot of walking, breast feeding and watching what I ate). When you have hypothyroidism it will always be a battle with your weight but you have to be diligent. </p> <p>My doctor and endo monitored me very closely and I had to get blood drawn every 4 weeks when I was pregnant. I was also vitamin d deficient so I had to take additional vitamins for that. Work closely with your endo and ob.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077961 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 21:23:23 +0000 mamimami 1077961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS I lost all the baby weight with Weight Watchers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077956 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 21:22:37 +0000 mamimami 1077956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I developed hashimoto's after my first child was born and my TSH was in the mid 60s. I got on meds and within a few months I was under control, and a few months later conceive on my first try and had my second child with no issues whatsoever. There is a lot online that makes you scared -- I saw it too -- but I think those are people who are not getting adequate treatment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077943 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 21:14:51 +0000 marionberry 1077943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was diagnosed with hypothryoidism at my first visit with my RE. I got pregnant that same cycle before I had even been able to start taking levothyroxine. I started medication about 6 weeks into my pregnancy and I've taken it everyday since then. They monitor your levels monthly while you're pregnant. I don't foresee any issue with my son, nor conceiving the next due to my hypothyroidism. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077721 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 19:22:52 +0000 babycanuck 1077721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Wheres_C - I'll def let you know. We've been TTC for 10 cycles now. I put on 60 lbs over the last 3 years. At first my doctor though the small amount of weight I put on in the beginning was from some anxiety meds I'm on, but this time she saw me and knew right away I put on a LOT and was very concerned. My mom has the same issue but she was diagnosed after having my sister and I. Thanks for the vote of confidence :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077652 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 18:49:03 +0000 wheres_c 1077652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>don't over analyze!<br /> let us know what your numbers are.<br /> I take 175mcg of synthroid/day. I was NTNP and had an oopsie pregnancy.<br /> how long have you been TTC?<br /> I was a size 8 pre diagnosis,then ballooned to a size 16 before learning of my thyroid issues. since I was diagnosed 10 years ago, my weight has been completely stable. I havent lost but havent gained either.<br /> during pregnancy they monitored my levels constantly and had to increase my dose of hormones, but now I have a healthy nine month old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077634 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 18:40:49 +0000 babycanuck 1077634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pui - I should know on Friday/Monday when my blood results come back. I will make sure to ask what the results were, even though I don't know yet what they mean. Glad that your doctors are feeling good about your fertility.</p> <p>@Sandy - thanks for this. I am definitely heading back to the gym and forcing myself to go diligently. I haven't been good about it lately and that doesn't help. </p> <p>I'm trying to look at things as if I get pregnant, I just can't put on much because I already have, and I'll go to the gym to try to get myself in better shape before I get KU if I can for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077610 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 18:28:58 +0000 sandy 1077610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything I read about thyroid issues brought up fertility issues which was scary but I has no issues getting pregnant. </p> <p>I was severely hyperthyroid and had 2 thyroid ablations with radioactive iodine - so they killed my thyroid function and i became hypothyroid and was put on synthroid. It's the tiniest pill (micrograms - smaller than a Claritin tablet)...and it changed my life. </p> <p>I had no problem getting pregnant and I lost the pregnancy weight no problem. Once my LO weaned I gained some weight and like most people I would love to lose a few more pounds but that's my fault for indulging in treats and skipping out on exercising...can't blame it on my thyroid </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077607 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 18:27:26 +0000 pui 1077607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your numbers are managed by synthroid you should have no trouble conceiving.</p> <p>Do you know what your numbers are? TSH, free T3, free T4?</p> <p>I also was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, so I know how you feel. I even posted a very similar post to this. Now that my numbers are in check, my doctor and RE both say it shouldn't be a problem fertility wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hypothyroid-ttc-weight-loss#post-1077590 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 18:23:03 +0000 babycanuck 1077590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please give me some hope, bees. </p> <p>Were any of your diagnosed with Hypothyroid when TTC and still able to conceive with no issues? How did you find your weight loss journey after you gave birth?</p> <p>I am overanalyzing everything I'm reading online. Hypoth. means more chances of m/c, much tougher time losing weight, etc etc. Even though my doctor said I should have no issues once she puts me on a the hormone replacement, I'm just nervous things will never happen.</p> <p>Sorry if I sound like a huge whiner. I'm kind of lost right now. </p>
