Yeah, it's amazing, and I mean amazing to me how much my thyroid levels effect my moods- particularly anxiety.
I'm hypothyroid. So when my dosage is too low I get anxious, lose my appetite, have no energy... before I was diagnosed and taking meds I would literally go for days without eating simply because I wasn't hungry and forgot to do it.
The thyroid issue was potentially a barrier to fertility so it's been monitored. My progesterone levels were watched most closely, though. It's likely that there were multiple failed pregnancies before this one, but we only know of one for sure.
Anyway, I'm fortunate enough that my husband seems to be understanding about the whole chemistry issue and had actually been asking me to get it checked for weeks. I just didn't think my doctor would actually up it this late in the game. But ... no appetite means not enough nutrients for baby, and that's not good.
I think we're on the right track for the last month. Fingers crossed.
How was it that your wife came to be diagnosed during pregnancy?
