Guest guest Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Hi ! I was also really depressed with the hypoT, gained 115lb, have PCOS, and diabetes. Only difference is my T3 is low. My TSH was " normal " too, like yours. I think you should be tested for antibodies, and find a doctor who will medicate you. Jan newby hi ! iam desperate for some support and help. For the last three years i have battled depresson(been put on many different drugs for that), 80 pound weight gain, enormous fatigue, thinning hair, and a diagnosis of PCOS and borderline diabetes. two yeara ago my labs were tsh-3.38 and now it is at 2.31, but my total t3 is way elevated at 195. no one seems to have answers for me, my priamary says my tsh is fine, beacsue it falls in the " normalL range, but i am reading that " normal " may be between 1-2. i want to feel well again! any advice is welcome. thansk- *Note: Information is freely exchanged on this board based on patient experiences, and should not be considered a medical recommendation.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I have tried but not actively - what I mean is I have gone around 6 months with no birth control and nothing happened, but I haven't tested for ovulation or anything like that. I got a blood test at the time and I was ovulating, and I know when I ovulate too (I cramp). I am torn about this baby thing right now, cause I don't think that I should have children, I am afraid the thyroid will make me too sick to care for a child if I do get pregnant and my husband really wants to have a child, so right now I am trying to make a decision - whether to get another IUD and give up on the idea for good or to stick to condoms for now and try to improve my health and save some money for a possible baby. The met really reduces the risk of miscarriage too, so I am sure you will be able to have a baby.
