Underactive Thyroid and miscarriage - any connection?
I have an underactive thyroid which is under control and I get my levels checked regularly.
I have suffered 2 missed miscarriages this year and I am now pregnant again.
I have heard of a couple of people that have been in the same position and through a friend of a friend, I heard that one person had changed their medication and this made a difference - has anyone else heard anything similar?
I am desperate to find out anything and double check that I am doing everything possible to hold on to this precious baby. My dr says that as long as my levels are ok then everything should be fine, but GP's don't always know everything especially about unusual things.
Any advice?

Thanks for your support, it has helped so much speaking to others on this site over the last few months. My first due date would have been next Tues so is preying on my mind even although I am pregnant again, I think everyone will be like this?

I am very interested in what your post says. I too have an underactive thyroid and am on Thyroxide and levels are under control. I have also tested positive for thyroid antibodies, and earlier this year had a mmc. My OH and I are currently ttc but am convinced there is a link...I guess only time will tell.
We had a scan at 7 wks which showed a healthy heartbeat but when went back at 12 wks the embryo measured at 7wks 2 days, so not really sure when things stopped developing. Having the scan at 7wks made it worse as I felt everything was ok and the 12wk scan was a wet kipper in the face. I am taking things step by step and as soon as I get that BFP I will be off to my GP and hopefully will get some support.
I am undecided about whether there is a link on not. Many of the places I have researched have said if your levels are under control...blah blah...u ve heard this all before...but my concernis relating to the positive antibodies...have you had a test for this?? I think they also call them autoantibodies??
Please let me know what the experts say.
Fingers crossed xx
