7 weeks pregnant and high TSH

Dear Ladies,

I have never had problems with my thyroid, my first pregnancy was perfect, I got pregnant super easily.
I have just received my blood test results for thyroid hormone levels and I’m devastated as my results are:

TSH 11.5 (norm 0.27-4.20)
T4 11.2 (11.0-21.2)
T3 5.3 (3.1-6.8)

Does it mean that miscarriage is 100% in my case?

That's definitely high, but I think if you start medication ASAP that could fix it!

I had my thyroid removed due to cancer in 2019 and when I fell pregnant last year my TSH spiker to 19 which is really high! They changed my medication and I was monitored during my pregnancy and all was fine. He is now 9 months old xx

Don’t worry. Of course talk to your doctor as soon as you can (I’m not a doc but have a long history of hypothyroidism and just experienced the same thing!) Your T3 and T4 are still within normal range, which (my understating) means your baby is still getting the thyroid hormones they need. I was told TSH can be cross-reactive with other pregnancy hormones (false high number) OR your high TSH levels could your thyroid is headed out of whack and you may need to go on meds - not a big deal. but the good news is you caught it early enough that your babe probably will not be affected. Take care and don’t stress!

I’ve been on thyroid meds for almost 20 years and when I found out I was pregnant, my TSH was 12.5. I now have a very healthy and happy 4 1/2 month old.

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
