terrible news and maybe some hope?

[ceagles]

Not sure if I am posting this in the right place but I figured I give it a try.

So I have been having some serious life threatening medical conditions over the past 5 weeks which caused me to drop 20 pounds. My heart has been acting up and the doctors have been running a bunch of tests. One test came back that I have a hyper active thyroid and also a severe heart murmur. There is still some additional tests coming up in the new year to test for additional heart issues. When my doctor called me today she also said that this is prob the main reason I keep losing my babies. All of this news comes today...the day my Twin babies would have been due. I am sad, angry and want to yell as this could have been fixed with medication... I never had heart problems or thyroid problems...why now? The only good thing out of this is that I may be able to get pregnant again once I am on the right drugs...

Will the tears ever stop? Will the bad ever cease?

Thanks for listening to me. Needed to express this and feel this is the only place I can do this.

the only explanation for my first loss (or maybe even both) was a minor thyroid problem and a friend of mine had no luck whatever conceiving even on ivf, then was put on thyroid medication and fell naturally. my SIL was told absolutely not to fall pg till they till her thyroid back to normal after last baby. So i think even though we dont hear about it, the research is showing the thyroid is strongly linked to m/c and infertility.
so you may be onto some very good advice to get you on the way to your baby

I have been doing alot of research on the thryoid problem since I was told about it and it's pretty scary to think that it is very common and a big reason why woman lose their babies. I am happy that I can get this fixed and hoping I can carry another baby.
