Hypothyroidism, anybody else suffer from it?

StarKrayzie

I'm 21 weeks & 4 days & at my first visit found out I have an inactive thyroid. My daughter is measuring small & although I gain weight, within days I lose it again. W/ my first two pregnancies I didn't eat a lot of fast food or junk food but my work schedule is hectic now so I eat out more. No matter what I do I can't keep the weight on. Never had this problem before. Anyone else been through this or going through it?

I found out when i first found out i was pregnant and got sent to an endocrinologist and i'm taking meds foe it and seeing the endo every month..im only 16 wks but i havent had any problems but i havent gained much weight and i eat well. Are you taking meds for it?

I have it..it was really hard for me to gain weight. I only gained 18 pounds during my pregnancy with my daughter I had her at 38 weeks and she only weight 5lbs 12 oz.. But she was perfectly healthy..

I have it. But are u sure u dont have hyper thyroidism? When u have hypo u pack on pounds easily and its hard to lose weight, what u are describing sounds like u have hyper.

I have hyperthyroidism, & I can't gain weight for anything. I'm 18 weeks, & I've only gained 4 lbs, maybe. The main thing is to just keep eating the right foods so the baby gets what it needs. I have to eat at least 6 medium meals every day instead of 3 large meals, & that's even when I'm not pregnant. Always have something in your system for your boby to munch on.

I'm taking 25mg of Levothyroxine. That's why my doctor's stumped because my bloodwork shows I have hypo but we can't figure out what's causing such dramatic weightloss. All my other symptoms point to hypo as well. I have pregnant medicaid & my first doctor wouldn't refer me to an endocrinologist & until I switched doctors a few weeks ago I hadn't had any bloodwork done since Dec 28. I also found out I have precancerious cells & although my first doctor said they were gonna check me every 2 months to make sure nothing's changed he never did. I'm just worried cause my daughter's size is equal to a 17 week baby instead of almost 22.
