Thank you for you expert knowledge, my endocrinologist doesn't think that the antibodies are a worry to pregnancy once a full term birth is achieved.

>>Thank you dr, may I ask a few more question?
>>Yes, it was antiphospholipid antibodies what I was refering to.
>>MAy I ask if the incidence of thyroid peroxidase, is it likley that the
>>antibody is elevated in women with repeat pregnancy loss as it is a by
>>product of that? and that it can be elevated in a woman and cause little
>>problems?
>>Could I have had this in my previous healthy pregnancy?
>>Also, does treatment by oral steroids (such as prednisolong) help to
>>lower the antibodies (thyroid peroxidase)?
>>
>>Thank you for your insight and help :O)
>>Actually we find a significant rise in antithyroid antibodies in cases with recurrent miscarriage,but whether it causes the miscarriage or not needs more researches, you may have it during the previous healthy pregnancy because it is not routine to test for it. so far we can not tell that steroid will lower the antibody levels.
