Hi everyone, I’m not sure if this post is allowed here but giving it a go.

I just found out I have hyperthyroidism (TSH <0.005, T4 2.88). My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 9 months. Five months in we got pregnant but sadly had a miscarriage. We are on cycle 4 since the loss.

I’ve had short and light periods, ear sensitivity, rapid heart rate, fatigue, anxiety, and heat intolerance. My thyroid panel was “normal” last February (very cusp of lower limit) but has drastically changed since then.

I’m waiting to hear from my doctor about treatment but I’m already feeling worried about what this means for TTC. Will the medication be safe to take while trying? Will our ability to try be delayed?

Has anyone here had hyperthyroidism and also gotten pregnant? What was your treatment like? Anything you can share would be so helpful. Thank you!

Edit to add: I don’t know the underlying cause of the hyperthyroidism yet (i.e Grave’s). My doctor is waiting on a couple more results before we talk about next steps.

Hi everyone,

I just found out I have hyperthyroidism (TSH 0.005, T4 2.88). I have yet to be prescribed medication as I literally just found this out this morning.

My husband (40) and I (34) have been trying to conceive for 9 months. We had one positive pregnancy test in month 5, but that ended in miscarriage. I’m now suspecting my thyroid has something to do with my fertility issues. I also have very short and light periods, ear sensitivity, bouts of rapid heart rate, anxiety, heat intolerance, and fatigue.

I’m wondering if anyone has had similar thyroid issues and what was your treatment & timeline like with trying to conceive? I’m worried this is going to push our timeline back even further, and concerned about being on medication while trying or while pregnant. I will of course ask my doctor all of this, but would love to hear some anecdotal experience from others. Thank you!
