[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple things:

1. Thyroid levels fluctuate throughout the day. Not drastically, but they do!
2. A “normal” range does not mean ideal for pregnancy. The most recent guidance I got from my fertility doctor was under 2, even better if close to 1.5
3. I would totally test again![/quote]

+1 to all of this.  
I saw an endocrinologist to manage my thyroid.  He wanted my TSH between 1 and 1.5 for pregnancy.  My OB and my PCP both considered anything as high as 4 to be “normal”.[/quote]

+2. Test again for sure. Pregnancy hormones could very well throw off your results. And I would do the full recurrent pregnancy loss workup, if you haven't already. Karyotyping, RPL blood panel, endometrial biopsy. Immune issues if you want to be very thorough and are willing to pay out of pocket (likely). I had a very surprise issue that probably accounted for some of my losses, and we almost didn't test for it. If your RE pushes back, then you push harder. You really have to self advocate with RPL.
