Under active thyroid!

I’m due to go into doctors on the 7th March, I will bring it up then. I was also told by midwife that I should be having b12 injections, and it would be sent to my GP but never had them done either 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

Hi, I have an under active thyroid and have had had 2 babies and I learnt after my first the I too was left after having baby and ended up being over medicated and loosing weight so after my second baby I rung my surgery and Booked a blood test before my 6 week postpartum check so the doctor could check the results at the appointment unfortunately I found I had to be proactive or I was left.

Thank you everyone! Better get onto my doctor!
Thanks again xx

I was told to drop my medication back to 50 immediately after birth (think I was on 125 by the end of my pregnancy) and have my bloods done 6 weeks after birth

Iv got an under active thyroid the midwife will check your levels with your booking bloods and 28week bloods you should also be referred to a consultant who you won’t see till your over 30 weeks and have had your 28 weeks bloods then your gp should do bloods at your 6 week check and then they are normally repeated again at 12 weeks ish iv had 5 babies an this is roughly the time frame of when iv had them checked

I have an under active thyroid & this is my first pregnancy where I’ve been diagnosed with it. When I fell pregnant I needed to have my dose upped to 100mg. I’m now 22 weeks pregnant & it’s still the same as I caught covid when I was due my thyroid blood test. Think you need to be tested for it every 4-6 weeks

I have under active thyroid and every 4w I do my blood test and after 1w thr Endocrinologist from Hospital is calling me if I have to change my dose. From 0.50 ,now I have 100. Tomorrow I have my appointment again.

I was born with an underactive thyroid and I’ve had 4 healthy children. Dosage always increases during pregnancy. I was on 175mcg which increased to 225 during pregnancy. I was told to decrease to pre pregnancy levels 6 weeks after giving birth. I requested a blood test around 16 weeks postpartum and my levels were low so Im currently on 200mcg.
Request a blood test and have it checked asap.

I also have an under active thyroid it's important to have regular blood tests to make sure your levels are right. I'm 8 weeks post partum and now on 200mcg instead of 400mcg during pregnancy!
