Will Hypothyroidism And Weird Hormone Levels Effect My HCG Levels?
Hi, I have a unique hypothyroidism condition where I was not born with one. I am female age 21 and I take levothyroxin 175 MG everyday to help my hypothyroidism. My question is. I have all the symptoms of being pregnant, very sore heavy breasts and nipples larger too, very tired during the day, very awake at night, I just feel off, nausea, dizzy, weird appetite, lower back cramps, stomach cramps, feet really hurt. All that jazz. Yet both pregnanCy tests I have taken were negative. I was wondering if my hypothyroidism and weird hormone levels can throw my hcg levels out of wacky for the tests?

Hi, I think your hypothyroidism is causing all these symptoms. If your pregnancy test is negative, you can't be pregnant. Thyroid levels don't interfere with hcg levels. So, it can't affect the pregnancy test. Get your thyroid profile done and if it is not controlled, you may need to adjust the dose. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your question.
