Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hi All, I was just diagnosed with Hypothyroid last week by my OB and have an appt with my family dr on Tues. No telling how long I have been " hypo " , I just assumed wanting to sleep all day and gaining weight was part of having 2 kids under 3 and being married! Not being able to lose all my pregnancy weight + the weight I had put on prior to pregnancy was getting pretty frustrating though. I know it will stink to have to be on meds for the rest of my life, but I must say it was a relief to find out that not losing weight was not for lack of trying! I am 30, live in Frisco, 2 kiddos (2 yrs and 6 mths) and married for 5 yrs. I started putting on weight in college, but with kidlet #1 gained 90lbs while preggo. I am now wondering how much of that was triggered by my thyroid. Fortunately I lost all but 20 of that weight only to put on 50 more with kidlet #2. I have actually lost all of that weight thankfully, but I work my tail off and am doing the South Beach diet. I am soooo sick of dieting though. I know starting meds won't be an overnight weightloss " miracle " but I am hoping I will actually see some movement on the scale. So, when I see my Dr on Tues, do I just need to request Armour or start out with Synthroid and see how it goes? The only level my OB told me was " 32 " which I am assuming is my TSH level... What else should I ask my Dr? TIA! ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
