Are Lower Echoes In Ultrasound And Sluggish Thyroid Harmful During Pregnancy ?

Hi doctor, I am 8 weeks 6 days pregnant. Recently I have done few tests in which I have got sluggish thyroid TSH 6.5, very low vitamin D value is 8, low platelets 120000. Please suggest some good home remedies for curing Thyroid, increasing vitamin D and increasing platelets. Doctor has given medicine for thyroid and vitamin D.
Also other query is in 8 week 6 day pregnancy I have done USG where lower echoes were heard. sack is made but no embryo seen. So would also need a reason for this concern why baby is not seen in the sack?
Regards
Shilpa

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Thyroid hormonal abnormalities can affect fertility and pregnancy.
Better to continue the medicines prescribed by your doctor.
You should take foods rich in iodine.
Iodized salt, sea food etc are beneficial.

Usually by 6 completed weeks, ultrasound can able to detect the embryo.
But as fetal pole is absent in your case even after 8 weeks, there is possibility of blighted ovum.
In case of wrong dates, better to repeat the ultrasound after one week.
Take care.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The low levels of thyroid hormones, vitamin D 3 levels and decreased platelet count are all harmful for the pregnancy. You need to consult an endocrinologist to get your proper doses adjusted.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
