    I had 8 miscarriages as well. I was always just told “It just was not meant to be and miscarriages are God’s way of correcting things.” Or sometimes “our body” would take the place of ” God’s way”. I never knew why until this moment, reading this article. I am just sick in the heart!

    1. LynnMarie, I’m very sorry to hear about your lost babies and all you’ve been through. It is good to have you at Hypothyroid Mom. Best, Dana Trentini (aka Hypothyroid Mom)

  2. I’ve had four pregnancies and lost three, all at 7 weeks. The first, third and fourth. My surviving child – a daughter – was the second pregnancy; I had a great time, no morning sickness (at any time of the day!) but at 36 weeks I had to register at a new hospital in Qatar and they told me my child had severe hydrocephalus. At 38 weeks she was delivered by section and had her own neurosurgery at three days old. While she has had setbacks in life she is happy and her general health is good. All I can say is that she was determined to be on this earth because not once was I advised that my hypothyroidism was a danger to my pregnancy health! Not once was my medication amended to cover for my growing belly…and these are meant to be the experts, the people we are told to trust, and the people (some at least) who believe they should not be questioned! I won’t ever have any more children – my mind and my body have had enough – but now I question EVERYTHING!!!

  3. We don’t take merely miscarriage is common thing. I understand the pain of miscarriage. thyroid checkup must for every women to avoid miscarriages.

  4. I had 5 miscarriages 3 between 8 n 10 weeks and 2 at 16 weeks both requiring surgery 15 yrs later trying to uncover another mystery illness during a time I was waiting for a parathyroid to be removed I was then told it was likely it was my thyroid that was causing the miscarriages?!?! I was finally blessed with a beautiful baby girl 15 yrs ago.

  5. I had 4 miscarriages. The longest I was able to carry was 14 weeks in 2008. Was the last one. I had already been diagnosed with hypothyroidism when we were in California but noone explained it, and I obviously didn’t do enough research.
    I had a partial hysterectomy 2010 and that same year was sent to an endocrinologist that told me I cld still have children if I took a baby aspirin daily. I replied back that I would also need a uterus.
    Luckily back in 93 I was able to conceive and carry my handsome son. Before… I am grateful for him.

    Thank you for your story and this page.

    I also lost 3 children to Thyroid disease. I was 17 years old the first time. Doctors never mentioned my Thyroid. Being so young I didn’t know about what thyroid was all about. I did have my first born at 20 born full term and healthy. And at 28 a second child. I have hypothyroidism and now am 71 years old still dealing with symptoms every day.

  7. You literally wrote this the day after I had a miscarriage at 9 weeks you will never know the way that you have just touched my soul… I feel pain I feel guilt I feel resentment I feel anger and you put it all into perspective. I too only have one child oddly enough A 6 year old boy…. and Jan 27th 2019 I lost my baby who stopped developing at 7 weeks though I was 9 weeks pregnant… I thank you for your story… You just never know what someone is going through.
