Re: What would you suggest ?

Looking back, I am sure I was getting hypo during my pregnancies,

too. Have her check her antibodies, free T3 and free T4. But then

you have to convince her that just because something is " in range "

does NOT mean she is NOT hypo.

because it's possible there is something going on hormonally & I

know these things run in families. Especially since her Mom just

popped over into hypoland after her second baby. Daughter is

pregnant with her second baby, bleeding yet, nothing is wrong?

Check her antibodies and her Free T4 and Free T3. I know a gal in the UK

whose Free T3 was one lab value above the bottom of the range...and she was

telling me how 3 years ago she miscarried and almost died because of the lost of

blood and large blood clots. She has not been diagnosed hypo...because her labs

are all still in range. But I feel certain this was a factor in her

miscarriage.
