Thanks for the information Ramone. My endo has discussed PTU with me,
however, he does not want me to get pregnant until this is all dealt
with. That is hard news to hear after trying for almost two years of
trying and hoping to be pregnant. I know he is right but it still
hurts. Do you know of any good reference materials re: pregnancy and
Graves Disease?

See you, Diane

Diane,

Sorry, I can only tell you how meds have been
for me and I’m not planning on children yet(!)
so I can’t tell you much. I know there have been
some studies done in France, Germany and Austrailia
about PTU and pregancy but I havn’t seen the
reports.
Hope someone else can help you – this bb’s the best!

Hi Jeanette-
Thanks for the articles. I will look them up. You have caught me on a
bad day – feeling very depressed and anxious. Nobody at my workplace
understands what I am going through. I can’t seem to get all my work
done so feel like I am letting down my team! Oh well it sounds like
this is going to be with me for a while so I should to deal with it. So
sorry for “venting” but I need to get it out.

Thanks again, Diane
