Hello, I have been hyperthyroid for over 8 years . I have Graves Disease. I am pregnant now finally first time at the age of 41, I had finally given up trying and then low and behold it happen. I have always been told by all my doctors if I ever got pregnant get in to them right away for my thryoid. I was on PTU prior to my Pregnancy and Atenonol (keeps my heart rate down and tremors I get at bay) They took me off everything. From what they say the baby will use up most of my extra thyroid hormone. I have blood work every month and has been normal I am at week 14. I also have been told will be put back on PTU if any change in my levels. They do not want me to go into thryoid storm. I wish you all the best.

I actually have hashimoto it really is really one of those hypothyroid and as long as they are regulated by your endocrinologist there should be no situation conceiving. My were regulared in view that i became 16, i'm 25 now....and that i presumed I wasn't very fertile via this..yet I were given pregnant! with out even attempting! lol!...... purely keep in mind that once you get pregnant, bypass on your endocrinologist each and each month so he can examine your thyroid stages (they have a tendency to advance with the being pregnant) and he will be regulating your medicine. reliable luck!!

Just have your thyroid levels checked during pregnancy, which they should do automatically once you indicate you have it. Also, I recommend visiting webmd and visiting the thyroid forum and meet the many other women there who become pregnant and are also concerned and share and pool knowledge.
meanwhile, thought you'd want to know. .........
Thyroid Disease Increases Birth Defects
By Jeanie Lerche Davis
WebMD Medical News Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD
Jan. 18, 2002 -- Women with thyroid disease are more likely to have a child with birth defects -- even if thyroid tests taken during pregnancy are normal. A researcher at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine meeting in New Orleans is recommending testing before getting pregnant.
Babies born to women with thyroid disease are at increased risk of heart, brain, and kidney defects, says lead author David Nagey, MD, PhD, in a news release. Nagey is associate professor of gynecology and obstetrics at Johns Hopkins Medical School.
The infants are also at risk for physical abnormalities like cleft lip or palate or extra fingers, he reports. ........
