T3 during pregnancy?

Hi,

I have started seeing a private endocrinologist who has prescribed me T3 to take, and I also just found out I’m pregnant. She says it’s safe to take T3 during pregnancy (and that the whole of Europe do it) but my nhs endocrinologist has advised against it. I don’t know who to trust! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

There are women in the T3 Support Group on FB for instance, (adherents of Paul Robinson's protocol) who would disagree with your Endo, and have the healthy babies to prove it.
