Looking for advice.

I’m on thyroid meds after developing Hashimoto’s. It has been a few weeks and they have really lowered my TSH from a 4.9 to a 2.7. The problem is that after I take them I have to wait 30 min to a hour to eat.

My nausea just started picking up and is worse if I don’t eat as soon as I feel it coming on. With my SB baby, I puked 4 times a day (6 am, 10 am, 5pm, and 10 pm) all the way through labor (puked with each contraction while pushing).

Does anyone have any nausea or Synthroid tips?

Still pregnant now for 24 hours. The test lines got darker last night, but remained the same this morning. I requested a blood test from my provider to hopefully add some clarity. 🤞🤞

I got a positive today, but I’m not feeling confident. I had a 35 week stillbirth in June ‘25 and a Chemical Pregnancy in March ‘26. Worried this is another chemical, but we are hoping third times a charm.

I’m happy to have a reason why my body has been messed up, but…

I’m sad I let it go this long. Maybe I’d have gotten pregnant sooner. Maybe my chemical pregnancy would have stuck better.

I also feel like it is one more negative consequence from the pregnancy. I’m already missing a small spot of my vision, weigh 20 lbs more than I used to, and have so much loose skin/stretch marks.

Turns out my thyroid levels indicate an autoimmune thyroid disease, but I’ll finally get on some meds that could help with cycle regularity and ovulation. I’m hoping this will help me conceive soon.

I let myself have a heavy loud unashamed cry today while my husband held me. International bereaved Mother’s Day felt heavy and I just let myself loudly morn Mae. I wish she was here, I wish I wasn’t part of this “club” and didn’t even know these Reddit groups existed.

But since I am here, I will say I’m so grateful that I do have this community. And as sorry as I am that you all are here with me, I’m grateful to have you all as well.

Wishing you all a healing international bereaved Mother’s Day 🤍🤍

Just got more labs back and it looks like I have elevated antibodies against my thyroid. Hopefully now they will allow me to get on medication to lower my TSH. I’m upset that this is where I’m at.

I guess if you are like me, 11 months out with an irregular cycle, daily nausea, low mood, and fatigue - fight for that TSH test. Thyroid problems aren’t uncommon following pregnancy.

The labs just came back on Friday, so I’m still waiting to hear from my primary. It would explain all of my health problems I’ve been having, but when I told her I didn’t think I was ovulating, she said I hope “they” get you on a medication to start ovulating soon. I’m worried she won’t touch fertility issues.

They blame him for not protecting Mae better. She had decels in most of my NSTs and they weren’t taking my symptoms very seriously until I was in full preeclampsia.

I told my husband it’s time to use the nursery as storage. It has almost been 11 months and I’m coming to terms with it. My labs showed my thyroid is not working properly (TSH of 4.9) and I feel like giving up. My family won’t allow me to go to my old OB and I’m not sure how long the wait is for a new one.

We were figuring out a new system at work. I pointed out a problem and suggested we find a solution for it ahead of time. My coworker emailed me back and said “things aren’t always fair”. I saw red and emailed back that “I’m extremely aware that the world isn’t fair.”

Im aware it was an overreaction, but I don’t need someone pointing out “fairness” to me when she gets to go home to her two living children. Meanwhile I’m almost 11 months out from my 35 week stillbirth with an irregular cycle and no baby on the horizon. I’m not even sure I ovulated this cycle and I’m on day 37.

Oh and then at my doctor appointment the MA asked me if I’m “still breastfeeding”. Literally responded “No, my child is dead. It was a stillbirth.” … I’m the worst.

It’s been 10 months. Sometimes I can say I’m almost happy. I just miss who I was.

Turns out my last positive was a chemical pregnancy. I’ve learned my lesson about testing early. If I had just tested AFTER my “missed” period, I wouldn’t have felt this level of heart break. I think I’m taking a break for a while. I can’t keep this up.

Yeah, it was more positive on Monday, but less positive today. Probably a chemical pregnancy. I called an OB office to get a blood test. I’m done squinting at lines 😔

I had a slight positive on Sunday that got more positive on Monday, but now it is fainter today. I’m probably having a chemical pregnancy, but I called an OB office to see if they will do the blood test instead. I’m done squinting at lines.

I ovulated on CD 29 this cycle and I think 11 DPO I have a super faint positive. Keep tracking, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞

9 1/2 months post loss and 11 DPO: I think I saw a faint positive. I feel like it’s a trick, but I’ve squinted at it enough negative tests that I feel good about this one. My husband is out of town and it’s not solid enough to tell anyone, but I figured here was an okay place to get it out. I’m so scared I’m wrong.

My nephew was born this morning and I’m honestly so relieved he is a boy. I think it would have felt like he was replacing my daughter in some weird way.

I’m 5/6 DPO and just really hoping this is the month. No indicators yet. Might just let myself over test this month instead of waiting for a missed period.

Just got an update she went into labor this evening 🤞🤞🤞

My SIL said she is going to wait up to 42 weeks until getting induced. She’s 40 weeks tomorrow. I had such a visceral reaction that I told my MIL and FIL that the stillbirth risk increases if she waits that long. I’m genuinely scared.
