Hi Ladybug,
I'd definitely recommend that you get your thyroid levels checked. I am 5 weeks pregnant and based on my 2nd BETA blood draw I was already in the hypothyroid state. They had to increase my meds. I started getting tired last week. I am not sure if it is pregnancy fatigue or because of my thyroid or both. My endicrinologist wants me to have my blood drawn every 3 weeks during the 1st trimester to make sure my levels stay in check. I guess the 1st trimester is the most critical. I didn't realize this, but he said the HCG hormone is what is causing havoc with the TSH.
Congratulations Chima!! You have strong BETA #s. I think all of us can empathize with your nervousness.
Looking forward to hearing about everyone's U/S results for this week. How exciting!!!
Heather
