This is my 3rd pregnancy (1x m/c & 1x DS).
I am currently 6weeks. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (overactive) due to Graves disease.
When diagnosed my Free T4 level was almost double the highest number for a normal level.
(mine was 43, levels should be between 10 and 24).
Since then i have popped an awful lot of pills and my levels at my last check 2 weeks ago was down to around 7. (so know im at the other end of the scale!).
I have started taking PTU which is recommended during pregnancy, but im just wondering how these diseases affected YOUR pregnancy???
Is there anything i should watch out for? How were you monitored during pregnancy? And what was the outcome in general (if your baby has now been born)??
Thanks for any help and sorry its so long!!
