This week we met with the endocrinologist. He informed me that I was misdiagnosed by the gyno. Based on my low numbers, it actually means the opposite of what you'd think, it means my body is overproducing the hormone, aka hyperthyroidism. It felt like my world came crashing down. So my body was over producing and then I was on meds to make it produce even more? That can't be good for anyone. Doctor assured me it's better to have too much of the hormone than not enough so baby should be just fine. Luckily I was only on the meds for 3 days and it supposedly takes at least a week to balance out hormone levels. Regardless, these people who misdiagnosed me are supposed to be delivering my baby!!!
Anyways, I took another blood test that day and the results came back normal! :) While that is great news, I'm still confused as to why my numbers were off to begin with. We're going to do another blood test just to be sure I'm still normal in a week. Keeping my fingers crossed!
