SamandPoppy, Hoobley and to all the lurkers (i hope theres some!):
This is my stupid lil thyroid's history since March 08 (when it was discovered i have hypo)
TSH was 6.9 (totally untreated - found via blood tests after 12mths TTC)

Started on 50pg of Oxoxine :TSH 3.6 ; 2.7 ; 4.9 ; 4.4 (monthly readings)

Started on 100pg as i went to my GP unhappy with levels - she called an endo who was friends of hers over the phone at consult and endo advised aim for between 1-2 and i might need to get up to 100 or 150pg to meet this.

On 100pg : 0.5 (fell pregnant) ; 0.3
When miscarried gyno/obs advised TSH too low and lowered dosage to 75pg. (However from the reasearch ive down in the first Trimester the TSH can be as low as 0.3 to be meeting bubs needs)

75pg: TSH 0.8 ; 3.4 (At this level i had consult with gyno/obs who disregarded my concerns about it being too high - he thinks it only needs to be below 4) ; next month 5.0!!!!

I thought if i ever got a reading that bad i would break down and cry - but i was taken over by fury about how badly my thryoid is behaving and being treated.

I asked receptionist at QFG to actually put reading in front of gyno/obs and make him take a look. He called and advised to increase dosage back to 100pg - which is what we tried months ago but only for 2 months as he then thought it was getting too low.

What i have found is when i start on a dosage it does go down but then comes partway back up and stabalises and that if i give 100pg a good go for at least a couple of months that yeah it may go a lil on the hyper side but then come back up to hopefully between 1-2!!!!

I have an endo appointment in Brisvegas late FEB and yes SamandPoppy i have compiled 3 pages of questions already along with all my research from American Journals of Endo and various other worldwide journals and case studies i want to be so informed so i can ask quality questions - may nothing stand in the way of me falling pregnant and maintaining the pregnancy!!!!

I'm sure we have all had enough of this TTC crap and would be just plain naive to go with one person's opinion on how i should be treated - no matter what that persons quals are from before i was even born!!!

I see how busy my gyno/obs is and how we are squeezed in for an appointment and then squeezed out and called away to deliver a bub, and how the quals on his wall are from before i was born and wonder just how much time he has to spend towards reading journals and case studies from the last few years and keeping up to date with a disease that is somewhat related to his speciality.......

Well thats my whinge - promise il make my next post more upbeat!

My you TSH be low ,
