I've just returned from my DR, and I'm very upset..advice?

I am 25, 5'3 and 130 pounds. I know, I only need to lose around 10-12 pounds and I'm generally OK with my weight. I eat really healthy and I exercise 5 times a week alternating between cardio and some aerobics with weights.





I had some blood tests today and I learned that I have hypothyroidism.


How can I deal with this? I am very shocked.


I mean, I know that I've never been really thin and I just blamed it on my bone structure. I had no idea that it was this.


With this condition, how will I be able to lose weight after having a baby??


I learned that it's even hard to get pregnant when you have this condition.





I am very upset and worried for my body and weight.





Any advice? :(I've just returned from my DR, and I'm very upset..advice?
I have hypothyroidism and have been able to lose weight.I've had two children and just like everyone else I had to watch what I ate to get the pounds off. It's going to be alright, don't worry. OK? Best wishes..Affy.





The treatment of hypothyroidism during pregnancy is relatively straightforward in most cases. A synthetic form of T4 is given to replace the missing hormone. The dose of the medication is regularly adjusted to maintain a steady blood level of thyroid hormone within the normal range. Therefore, it is routine practice to monitor the blood level of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) while monitoring hypothyroidism during pregnancy. In many respects, the treatment of hypothyroidism in pregnancy is similar to that in nonpregnant women.I've just returned from my DR, and I'm very upset..advice?
