So can I start with a disclaimer that I already know I am an idiot.

Also this may be the wrong subreddit but it seemed most appropriate.

Tldr I lied about taking meds and now I may miscarry. Seriously don't be like me. Be honest with your doctor even if you feel ashamed/embarrassed.

So I have been on zoloft for a few years and synthroid since my first pregnancy in 2016. I stopped taking these meds in December for the stupidist reason really... At first I kept forgetting to fill my prescription... then I lost it and was too embarrassed to ask my doctor for another because I was afraid of a lecture about being off my meds. Bad plan obviously. Since then now I am 7 weeks pregnant (I didn't know when I stopped taking them) and when I went in for the first appointment I came clean that I stopped zoloft because she asked me if I wanted to wean off it for the pregnancy. She gave me the expected response that I could have had bad side effects going cold turkey. I don't know why I didn't say about the synthroid but I guess I didn't realize how important it is.

Now I am spotting so I did my bloodwork and surprise surprise my thyroid is way out from where it should be. The doctor called me today super concerned and asked if I have been taking my meds. If course I lied again and said I forgot to take them last week (seriously what's wrong with me). After I got off the phone I googled thyroid complications in pregnancy and it turns out thwy are significant and I may miscarry or cause brain damage to the baby. I had no idea. Now tomorrow I plan to come clean even though it will probably black mark me as a very non-compliant patient I need to be honest for the sake of my baby. That should be fun as my hubby will be with me and he knows none of this 🤦

Moral of the story: don't be like me. Learn from my mistakes.
