I too have hypothyroid n had to gone for DNC last year when i was Three months pregnant. the reason is fetus was not developing and none of the gynec told me the exact reason for aborting but i have realised.. last tym my TSH was increasing too much dt reached upto 11 n d normal value is below 3 but this tym im having doses as 50mg n its normal.

My suggestion is you wait till you get appointment from your gynic. Miscarriage doesn't happen only because of thyroid other reasons are also there. Heard of survival of the fittest? it applies in pregnancy as well. The healthy feotus will survive.

do u know that high tsh is not so much of a problem as much as a low tsh is? <br>
my endocrinologist mentioned this in one of the appointments.<br>
he said it is easier to conceive if u r b/w 7-8, rather than if you are on lower than .1<br>
so my advice to you will be do not self medicate.<br>
also did ur doctor do regular set of tests to find out the cause of previous miscarriage? if not then cause should be ascertained rather than thinking that it was due to thyroid.<br>
pls take care and I wish you get ur appt super quick with the doctor
