Guest guest Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hello All, I joined you a little over a year ago and got some great advice. I have Grave's disease, had RAI, had a difficult time finding my dose of thryroid replacemtn hormones but finally did! The key for me was to find an endo who listened to ME, and treated my symptoms, not my numbers. I am very lucky. While I was recuperating I met a wonderful man, we fell in love and got married in June! And, we came home from our honeymoon pregnant. I am 40 years old, 14 weeks pregnant, feeling great with no fluctuations in my levels at all! I was just wondering if there was anyone out there who has been in the same situation as I am in. Can anyone give me any advice on things to look out for, nutrition etc? Also, for those who are initiating their roade to recovery, I am living proof that it DOES get better! I am fully recovered and living a healthy life! Happy Sunday! Karyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The onyl thing I can suggest is go to www.thyroidmanager.org They have a chapter on pregnancy and hypo..I do know your meds need to be increased during pregnancy so if you are on 100 they up it to 150..
