Back in January one of my thyroid tests was slightly elevated, at a 1.9 so they ordered a retest. I never went in to get it done because of our 2 week vacation and then finding out I was pregnant. So Tuesday that's why I had an extra lab, because it was in the system. I got a phone call last night that I was up to a 10.8 which is pretty high.
They got me in at 8:10 this morning. I have been diagnosed with hypothyrodism and will be on meds because it causes harm to the fetus/preterm labor if left untreated. I'll also be having blood draws to check the levels every 6 weeks and going back to see the specialist I did last time when I had the growth on my thyroid.
So I'm thankful for all the friends I have here I can call to babysit at the drop of a hat because it looks like I will be at the doctor a lot!

We are glad everything turned out ok and that you and baby will stay healthy!
What a blessing that that extra lab was still on file!!! Everything happens for a reason...I believe that!! Thanks that the extra lab, the docs can be sure you AND baby Windle stay healthy!!
I'll continue to pray for you!
I'm sorry Kim...but I'm glad you have it diagnosed so you can be treated. My sister-in-law had it with her 5th baby.
Ugh. Can't you catch a break? Glad they caught it though...so you can take care of yourself and the little bean! (BTW - you are missing an "a" in my blog address...that's why the link won't work.)
