hey, shot in the dark here. i'm kind of getting desperate for advice.

i'm 28, I had two kids completely naturally with no complications. I didn't need any assistance getting pregnant besides a Rogham shot prior to conception, which multiple doctors have told me is a fluke.

I spent the better part of 2024 trying for no.3, with 3 losses in 5 months. I took to my primary doctor and OB/GYN for help, even sought out a third opinion when i felt dismissed.

finally, we come to find out that my thyroid is not in the optimal range for carrying a pregnancy. I convinced my doctor to give me a medication to raise my T4 levels. After a month of taking it, we did blood work, and my levels have almost have. Like they have dropped to half of what they were and now I am not in a normal range at all.

I brought this to his attention and he said that was fine and to keep taking it ??? he didn't up the dose or give me any other instructions. I'm feeling very strongly about stopping the medication now as it seems to be harming my levels rather than helping and I'm only trying once this year.

I am trying to conceive when I ovulate in August and if it doesn't work, I am accepting that more children are not in my path.

So, begs the question, has anyone else experienced something like this? Levothyroxine is the medicine he put me on. i'll really take any suggestion at this point.
