I became so very miserable and unable to function by my 7th wk of pregancy, I choose to, felt like I had to, terminate the pregnancy. I have no hx of low bp or hypothyroidism (I also read that HCg and TSH are inversely proportional during this time and have the same receptors)but during this time my b/p dropped to 84/54, I wasn't anemic, I was ill(nauseated and felt sick) almost 24/7, and depressed and so fatigued I could hardly get out of bed. I Didnt some days. I felt like I was dying. Like I had to choose between my health and sanity or my pregnancy. I had nothing close to this experience when I was pregnant the first time and I was happy about haveing a baby until then, and love the father. Doctors offered me no answers and nothing but anti nausea meds (cns depressants) that would most likely lower my b/p even more. After the procedure I felt like I got my life back, my senses and wits returned, and I am now trying to figure out what was going on with me and what I could do to get thru this again and have the baby. My best conclusion thus far is that my few years of yasmine use possibly gave me progesterone hypersensitivity. (I could even feel my bronchi in the center of my sternum, it hurt during this time, I then read progesterone during preg. increases size of bronchi). I remember when I went off yasmin I felt bad and fatigued for about 6 months until I felt like myself again. Another women I spoke with had an absolutely miserable pregnancy with same symptoms and she also was on yasmin before conception.

Is this possible and/or something common? Is there anything I can do if I get pregnant again to bear these terrible effects? Is there any options regarding additional thyroid meds perhaps even if I am normal pre pregnancy? Thank you Becky
