FINALLY a video about pregnancy with hashimoto's. I feel like it's really difficult to find info about fertility and pregnancy with hashimoto's other than the horrible symptoms and risks...

I found out I have hypothyroidism about 2 weeks ago. I go tomorrow to get more info on some more bloodwork done to see how bad it is. I have three healthy kids, 6, 4, and 6 months. I’ve also had 2 miscarriages. I’m really thankful that I was able to have kids despite having this condition. Thank you Jesus!!!

Leslie Morgan any tips for a fellow hashimotos lady trying to conceive?? I am not on thyroid meds since I am trying to heal the all natural way. But any vitamins or regiments would be helpful. Thanks!

I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism this passed February and have been really stressing out about getting pregnant so this video shed a little light in my life thank you so much for making this informative video for those of us struggling with similar problems❤️

Glad you guys can spread more awareness about this, I had unmanaged hashimotos and had a miscarriage at 5 months in and it was soul crushing...the medication and diet are soooo important especially while pregnant and I was feeling like I might not ever have a chance to have kids but seeing you guys doing so well gives me hope.

Thank you for this video. I have Hashimotos and had a miscarriage last year. Finally have the courage to try again. Keeping fingers crossed!

You guys are such an inspiration for me! I have hashi's as well and great to see some beautiful young girls in the media about this. Love you!!!

You’re both so beautiful inside and out 🥺 I’m feeling less nervous about everything I’m going through listening to you both.

Really enjoyed this segment on hashimoto’s and pregnancy! I would’ve never come across this if it wasn’t for my friend Elaine but so thankful she shared this with me. There’s so much I still feel I don’t know much about this auto immune disease and I’ve had one miscarriage so far. I’ve also been so afraid and reluctant to start hormone therapy but hearing both your stories, make me feel more at ease.

Susan Yara hi Susan I just found your channel I had three miscarriages the last one last Christmas I have hipotyrdism I have one year n treatment but my endocrinologist doesn't say much about it i feel much better just my hair is very dry n falling all the time also I had endometriosis n I'm 38 my gynocologist told me to go with my primary doctor to control my tyrods.what kind of doctor is attending your hipotyrdism? I like to see u with your healthy baby cause is a big hope for me .happy new year.

This was so helpful! Thank you for sharing your stories it was so encouraging!

I know this video is old, but I’m TTC with Graves’ disease and it’s been so discouraging, but this is so helpful! Thank you so much for making and sharing this. ❤

I'm so happy for you. Very informative and interesting video 💕

Thank you for making this video. I have had both for years but was always told it wasn't bad enough to go on medication yet until I fell pregnant, and my specialist told me there's a big chance of miscarriage - very scary and I was very mad that I wasn't offered medication until it possibly could have been too late. It's very important to take control of our health and be persistent with doctors! Sending you both love xx

This video was such a breath of fresh air! ❤

Thanks for making this video! I have hashimotos as well and have been struggling with the idea of getting pregnant again

Very well done! Thanks for sharing

thank you for making this and the video about what no on told you about pregnansy! please make some more!!

Wow. I just found out about your channel and am amazed with how refreshing and naturally pleasant (real?!) you are :) I am diagnosed with Hashimoto 3 years ago. After consultations with my endocrinologist, I made a transition on rigorous AIP Paleo with no medications and things were pretty okay. And then I got pregnant, after very negative predictions from a few doctors. My due date is tomorrow 😁 Everything went well and all I wanna say to all the ladies fighting this Hashi-war is: never give up, believe in your body's strength and don't be afraid to make a change. So glad I discovered you, Susan ❤️ Lots of love from Croatia.

Hey Susan. Just hoping on here to say Thank You! This was the first video I have seen since being diagnosed 2 weeks ago that has been somewhat positive. My doctor said to me today, as i was feeling utterly miserable and asked him if I would ever feel normal, he replied "No. You may feel better, but you will never feel normal or healthy again". I am hopeful that though I'm living my life completely differently now, that I can enhance my quality of life.

Hi there. Thank you both for sharing your experiences. You both have a positive vibe about which it refreshing to see. I have Hashimoto's, was diagnosed after my second miscarriage last year, and currently been on LDN and Levo for 6 or so months. I'm waiting right now to get full health coverage because I recently moved to the Czech Republic from the US....So, anyway, my question is, what supplements, meds and anything else did you do prior and during pregnancy? Thank you!

Just went to my ogbyn for annal check up I talked with about thyroid since my father's side has badly . Wish me luck next week for all the blood work.

Thank you guys so much for sharing!

Can u do a video explaining what medications you currently take or have taken in the past? Thank you so much!! Wish u all the best!!

Great video I was wondering what nutrients or supliment you were on I have inflamation and trying to get pregnant

Hello Susan, this video is a little old but I'm just now viewing it. What was the dosage for your LDN? And did your doctor offer it to you or did you have to convince them? Thank you

Thank you for posting this video and congratulations on welcoming your baby boy. I have hashimotos and endometriosis. There was a surgery for endometriosis beginning of the year and I was gluten/dairy free 6 mo prior to the surgery and after.

I have Hashimoto. Love the Sweet Laurel Bakery cookbook!

hi I have thyroid problem and I was wondering if that could be a problem and getting pregnant I'm 25 im currently taking medicine for my problem.can you please give some advice

What supplements are you girls taking during your pregnancies?

Thank you very much for sharing this. It was very helpful. I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto. I'm have been trying to conceive for a while without any success :( What are some of the supplements that you and Lauren took while trying to conceive. I know Hasimoto patients do not do well with soy, dairy, gluten products. Also did you take Vitamin E and C? I also have MTHFR. Thank You bunches!!

Do you mind telling me what your dosage was before and during your pregnancy for the Low Dose Naltroxene? Also, may I ask which T3 are you taking?? Thank you so much in advance.

Susan do u have estrogen or testosterone dominance with Hashimoto ? I have Hashimoto and hormonal imbalance ( high androgens ; male hormones > than female). Which one do I have to focus on for the other symptom to get better? Does hormonal imbalance come from Hashimoto or is Hashimoto the result of hormonal imbalance?🥺

My hashimotos post pregnancy has been horrible. I was diagnosed after pregnancy with hashimotos/hypothyroid. I can't eat anything but gaps stage 1 for now.. this just shows us that everyone is so different, even when sharing the same autoimmune disease. You two look happy and well! How has your body done post pregnancy? And do you test reverse t3 as well?

I would love to know what brand of folate Laurel took :)

OmG the dry and flaky scalp is related to thyroid ? I have hypothyroid and I'm on medication so I'm not sure why my scalp is that way . Time to visit my doc

I’ve had thyroid for over 8 years I am now trying to get pregnant but still no luck it’s been a year.. I have an appointment this Thursday to see what’s going on!

Hi there Thank you for the info I have under active thyroid and Hashimoto I’m also trying to get pregnant,my doctor said it’s not bad at all my thyroid level is not that bad but I’m having hard time to get pregnant for my first child, my question for you is the whats name of your medication take now I want to ask my doctor to proscribe me the same COZ I think I have the same problem.

I am 17 and a senior in high school and I was diagnosed with hashimoto's at the beginning of this school year. And I already have a lot of health issues so I guess I'm just used to on a lot of prescriptions, but my dosage is 65mg of NatureThroid, but I still have a lot of issues with getting sick and passing out.

Does antibodies levels ever go down to normal? Or will they always be eleveated regardless

my TPO levels are now 808!!!!! i have been taking 25mcg levothyroxine daily, trying to conceive my first baby for 12 YEARS!!!!! I am starting to loose my mind because i've tried everything and eat a very healthy clean diet... please someone help

How did you get pregnant? What did you take to increase to get pregnant? I have been trying for 2 years to get pregnant but be having miscarriage. 😟

I have high antibodies and a low t3 but they don’t want to treat … I’m afraid ill have a miscarriage again if they don’t help me take the right steps. What do you do if they don’t want to give you meds

Is your T3 sustained release or immediate release?

What’s the type of specialist you guys went to see.

Hello, I really would like some advice. I want to get pregnant and I want to be on the paleo diet at the same time. I'm assuming you girls are still on the paleo diet while pregnant? Can you please give me some advice?

How high were your antibodies?

I have graves disease (hyperthyroidism). I was diagnosed about a year after the birth of my daughter, 2 years ago. My dr is hoping that I will be in remission soon! Then we can start ttc for baby #2!

Any good hashimoto group to join?

autoimmune hashimotos -( low thyroid) is most often caused by (Blastocystis hominis was isolated through a stool microbiologic examination, implicating that this parasite can cause the development of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and chronic urticaria ) and can be cured with ivermectin high dose

4:08 this video is misleading. taking a chill-pill about a video is cute but when it's about Hashimotos, it shouldn't be so. I almost died having undiagnosed Hashimotos 3 months post partum in hyperthyroid phase with heart rate 125+ per minute, my body was dying. And although people wanted and put a ""post partum psychosis''' diagnosis on me, thankfully and Endocrinologist run all the necessary tests, diagnosed me with Hashimotos, and corrected the accute hyperthyroidism with Tapazole within few months, putting Hahsi in remission, with zero antibodies, it's been three years since then and I am pregnant now in second trimester, my T4 at 13 and TSH low, he's staring me on a different thyroid support medication as now I am in a hypothyroid phase as I am in second trimester and in the first trimester the baby takes what the baby needs from mothers thyroid gland, as the baby starts producing its own thyroid hormone by the second trimester, but we're not fully unplugged until the 20th week, and I am in the middle of the 19th week, with labs coming in a couple weeks late, so I should've started on support meds by the end of the first trimester. you do NOT need to be on thyroid medication ''for life'' unless you have a crap ''specialist', point blank, antibodies can and should be retested at each full thyroid panel testing to see how the medication is affecting the whole thyroid panel. first time hearing of people being on ''medication for life'' over hashimotos. yes it is dangerous and autoimmune but hello sunshines that's why there's the hypo and hyper thyroid meds to correct the issue and go from there, in fact, default medication taking only kills off the thyroid gland sooner, so this should not be supported at all, you'll just have earlier older age, and that's sad to live like you don't have a thyroid gland at all, without having had the removal surgery, the two women i know that take the meds for life are both post thyroid removal surgery. I suggest changing both your ''specialists'' to improve both your metabolisms longterm. got here feeling so sad I'm due to take meds again, but somehow 4 minutes of this video made me feel better. do rethink your options tho, and do retest those antibodies. peace

Lesbian Wives Have her ask about Nature-Throid or Armour. Both are non-synthetic from pig thyroid. Synthroid or Levothyroxine does nothing for hypo/hashi sufferer. Free T3 and Free T4 are very important.

Susan, so happy I found your blog - I have Hashi's and am 30 weeks pregnant. Do you take Levothyroxine, Synthroid, or Armour? I am on Armour because it has both T4 and T3 which my body needs because it cannot convert T4 into T3. Armour is the only one with both so I always tell people that if they still feel awful on Levo or Synthroid to look into it!

The medication keeps causing my body to miscarriage so should I lower my dose

Honestly I’ve been terrified to even think about getting pregnant again because ppl are sooo negative about what can happen etc etc. so glad I came across this video. PS I have Graves’ disease

thanks for sharing, now I know women with hypothyroidism are possible to get pregnant and live a healthy life

I have been trying so hard to advocate for myself. My primary completely disregards my input and symptoms and has even lied to me and said there was no endocrinologist with their practice to be referred to and it’s like pulling teeth where I am from to get into an endocrinologist without a primary’s referral. I got sent in a big circle! I spoke to a nurse practitioner that had just come back to work at my dr.’s office after a slight break and she said that it wasn’t true because I had finally gotten fed up and advocated for myself. The nurse listened to me and my dr. Came in and all the sudden she was referring me! I am on the process of looking for a new primary. I do all of my own research and literally have had to educate my OWN dr. On the disease. And now that I am pregnant I really should be being handled by an endo and my dr. Doesn’t even know that most women on the medication I am on have to have it increased. My levels are so low now and thank god I made her change my testing frequency to 4 weeks she wanted to keep it at six weeks. My levels are so low if I had waited another two weeks I could have miscarried and she doesn’t ever test my t3 or t4. Sorry for the rant this has been my life for years switching from dr. To dr. And constantly hitting a wall. I don’t understand why they never listen. And now I have to wait until February to see an endo for the first time. I am already 12 weeks pregnancy. I should have had one from even before the pregnancy. Bleh I am nice and honest so I guess I just come across as a push over it’s so disheartening. But seeing you two gives me hope that I will be taken care of.

Hi everyone I am currently 26 weeks pregnant. I've had Hashimotos for over 5 years. For the past 3 weeks I've had heart palpitations, shortness of breath and extreme fatigue. I walk a few steps and my heart starts racing. At one stage I even got chest pains. I went to my obstetrician about it and he said it's totally normal. This week it's gotten progressively worse and worse. No more chest pains but other symptoms are there. I need to lie in bed or sit down almost all the time. I have 7 and 5 year old that needs me and I return to work as a teacher next month after our summer break. Are there any moms here who experienced the same? Is this really normal?

I agree I'm allergic to gluten, dairy, sugar and all this crap lol that I thought I was never able stop but the severe allergies I have made me stopped eating because It is life-threatening so I can't eat 🍔 I can't eat red meat I can only eat chicken turkey and fish and no white rice I'm allergic to that too my life is pretty screwed 😂. I can only eat red rice,brown rice and black rice and my Hashimoto's was caused by my accident because I had head injury that caused my occipital lobe damage no knew that I was able to see normal like other people and my immune system failed. Healthy food do test great I love my body I'm back to skinny and healthy old me but my hair is falling off 😭

I totalli relate

It is a BIG deal unfortunately. I wish someone would have told me when I was diagnosed with hasimotos post partum that I was very vulnerable to this progressing to my central nervous system one day if I didn't take care of myself...healthy diet, stress reduction, mental/emotional work, exercise,, sleep, etc. I am dealing with MS. Medical medium says thyroid is the most vulnerable organ and first to be effected with EBV and ms central nervous system involvement is the last stage. Wish I would have known the seriousness then. I was just given a pill and that was it.

Hi there. I apologize for the long comment, but I haven't had anyone to ask advice from who can relate to my situation. I am 18 weeks pregnant. At 10 weeks, my gynecologist said she could feel my thyroid and ran blood work. My tsh came back at 3.2... apparently that is within normal range, but a little high for first trimester. So, at around 16 weeks they decided to re-test and my tsh came back at 4.5 this time. They decided to do a 3rd blood test to check my t3 and t4 and I am nervously waiting for the results. This is all so shocking and worrisome for me. I read about developmental issues with the baby if the thyroid is off, especially during the first trimester. I would never forgive myself if something were wrong with my baby that was my fault because of my thyroid. I am so concerned that my thyroid hasn't been working properly and I'm half way through the pregnancy without it being treated. I have had symptoms that I never knew could be related to a thyroid issue (fatigue, no energy, hair loss, dry skin, dizziness), so I am sure the 3rd rest will show hypothyroidism after much research. I would love to hear your knowledge or thoughts in my situation. Also, if you have any advice when starting a thyrpid mediation. Should I see a specialist first? Symptoms to be prepared for? A brand of medicine that you feel is best? I would love a response, please! Thank you!

Hello, I was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's after I found out I was pregnant and am now experiencing all the same fears you mentioned about development. How did everything turn out for you?

I wonder the same, I have it in my vitamins in small dose.. But iodine is very important for baby's brain.. I am eating eggs every day and I guess when I get next results of TSH I will know if my thyroid got affected!

Swathi, low carb is going to be the key to get your weight down with hypothyroidism. Your body simply cannot handle carbs like a normal person's. Try it and see! It's life-changing. You don't have to go quite to Atkins level where you're getting under 20 carbs per day, but aiming for under 100 daily is going to help you lose weight and feel better.

hi I'm 23 and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and hashimotos last year with an endocrinologist. but she doesn't want to put me on any medication because she said "I'm too young and I can bring my levels into the normal range myself." she's very rude and very strict but her patient's that recommended me to her says she's the best and knows what she's doing. I also just got married last year and want to start a family NOW. I told my doc that we've been trying for almost a year and have been unsuccessful, when I told her this she was very upset and told me to "stop trying because women with my condition always miscarry, and if I do end up pregnant she'll be forced to put me on strong thyroid medications." this doctor really bums me out so I'm going to get a second opinion next month from a different doctor. thanks for the helpful info, I feel less stressed out after watching this. Bless you.

I’m kind a worrrieeed please can someone answer my question and if someone had the same experience as me when they were pregnant how was your treatment and what’s the effect of your baby at the present is your baby normal? and had no mental health issues? 😭 thanks for answering.

How bad was your TSH? I know of women who found out their TSH was sky high around the same weeks as you and had a healthy baby BUT test as soon as possible as it may be harmful to you if untreated. Of course I'm not a doctor, I'm just saying that there is hope.

Hi I also have hashi and levels are high, can you please tell me if everything was ok with your pregnancy?

I was diagnosed w/ Hypothyroidism when I was 11. My mom noticed I slept more up to 16hrs a day. I then was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at 28. I am on 200 Synthroid and 5 T3 Levothyronine. My body does not like to absorb Vit-D. I have trouble losing weight even went so far as to have surgery but gained all the weight back. I work out 4-5 days a week. What exercises do you like to do that keeps you fit and healthy? What foods do you like to eat? I've seen multiple doctors and finally after 20 yrs I found one I like.

I think Laurel's path my be a better fit for you. She went for a gluten-free diet and worked with a nutritionist who really helped her. I work out a lot and can tell when it's time to see my doctor to up my medication because the workouts start to get really tough. I'll be struggling in the corner and see a woman twice my age looking like the workout is no big deal at all! Glad you found a doc you like! That's a big part of it.

I've speculated that I had thyroid problems for years but just went to the doctor about it last year. I was hyperthyroid but then it changed to hypothyroid. I also have a previous autoimmune disease called vitiligo so I am almost certain that I have hashimotos. My mom also has it. I was on 25 micrograms but then switched to 50 micrograms after 3 months. I go back in December to get more blood tests done :) I'm so glad it can be managed and it's not life threatening!
