Members who were hypo and pregnant will respond when they read your post.

If you look on the right-hand side at the pinned posts they are all about hashi's/pregnancy which you might find helpful. Just click on one and it will take you into that article. To return to your page click on the top back arrow to bring you back to this page.

I know pregnant women have to be very carefully followed by their GPs or endocrinologists to ensure a safe delivery.

Thank you for the information. Encouraging to know that you can get pregnant. I'm beginning to lose hope. x

Some women become hypo after delivery. Maybe you should do a chart of when best to attempt to become pregnant.

Your bloods should be tested regularly. Most patients need an increase in dose

Obviously good vitamin levels are very important. B12 and folate especially

Hiya

I was given an extra 50mcg T4 at six weeks ( I was on T3 only before this) and then remained stable throughout. I became hyper a few months after birth but wasn't caught on time as they forgot to check this and I wasn't thinking clearly at the time so went on a little too long lol!

Are you seeing an endo to keep a close eye on it and I also had monthly blood tests and extra scans to check the babies development :-)

Not what you're looking for?
