subject: Low Thyroid Levels And Getting Pregnant [print this page] Are you looking at low thyroid levels as a part of a fertility work up? You are in great luck. It should be easy to add some thyroid, the right kind for best results, and it is time to start planning for the new bundle of Joy.
Oh that it were that simple. Lets see, from what you have read about low thyroid and the high possibility your true thyroid levels in your cells are low and found out are slim.
Listing the symptoms of low thyroid you will find inability to get pregnant. The hormone is needed to bring all steps to completion ... ovulation and fertilization. The knowing that the thyroid blood test is faulty is quite evident in the information I have presented. Take a look at all of it and the videos.
In spite of you list of positive symptoms of low thyroid and most of the findings, they are often brushed aside in order to get to some "procedures" to see if "we can get you pregnant"
With all of the above, a doctor of a few years ago would have safely and carefully put you on natural thyroid tablets for 3 months and monitored the results (new pregnancy usually). Today's "modern" "duped doctor" (unaware the TSH test is poor to useless) will now proceed on the path of many tests, planned "rush home love making", probing, small and frequent insemination attempts. These sometimes produce a pregnancy that you loose in 2 mos. You can't carry a pregnancy with hypothyroidism. Then it is time for "laparoscopic surgeries" to take a look at your ovaries and fix any problems".
You, who know, take a look at the bill you have run up. Take a look at the cost of 100 natural 60 mg thyroid tablets. I think you might have $100 dollars in the pills and $20,000 to $40,000 in the medical work up. I, for the low cost of a hundred tablets and a good history and physical "have gotten many of my patients pregnant". We still get cards and thank-you's and birth notices from the success we have.
It is late in my medical years. So at the risk of some criticism, I commend the use of Trial by therapy. If it works and no person is hurt. I went for it. Many of my doctor friends do it every week in treating all joint pain, back aches, upper resp infections, headaches and a "few more"
The last time I checked, the over use of antibiotics has caused many, many deaths from the MERSA (resistant staph) and many other reactions as well as the huge expense of their "therapeutic" trials which is what you would call the use of the Thyroid mentioned above, Go Figure.
