nmasay – Once your levels are stable, then you can usually proceed with trying to conceive. Thyroid disease that is not in control during pregnancy really increases the risk of miscarriage plus there are additional risks for the pregnant women. Happily, once your levels are stable – then preganacy can follow a pretty normal course in most cases. Pregnancy does influence thyroid levels, so expect more frequent lab monitoring when you are pregnant – and some adjustment in your meds.

I ended up getting pregnant about a year (give or take) after diagnosis. I was still on a low dose of methimazole and then immediately switched to PTU. Our 2nd baby was ahead of our schedule. I would have waited until I was off meds or had surgery and been stablized on replacement if mother nature hadn’t intervened. I was able to get off the PTU right away too but it still made me uncomfortable.
