[quote=Anonymous]OP, while pregnant you shouldn't switch thyroid medications; there can be an adjustment period -- now is the time you want stability. Keep getting levels checked, of course, to see if you need dose adjusted. (This is exactly what my midwife -- who diagnosed my Hashimoto's -- told me.) During my healthy pregnancy, TPOs were around 400.

Selenium supposedly can be helpful, but has not done a thing for me in 2+ years. If you have the opportunity, I would see a naturopathic doctor who has combined experience in Hashimoto's, pregnancy health, supplementation. No one I've seen has found a way to lower my antibodies (TPOs are >6,000 now) despite dietary adjustments, supplementation, medication adjustments, etc. My TPOs and TSH increase during pregnancy and during IVF stims; each time, the most immediate way to alleviate the resulting TSH-spike symptoms is to increase meds. Levothyroxine has worked well for me. TPOs have never stopped going up; the endo I've seen has zero concern about the antibodies, my RE was only concerned about TSH, my midwife and ND were the most helpful and proactive.
