Laurel….THANK YOU SOOO much!! I am also on a low dose of PTU…I believe my dose will be changing if my Dr ever calls me back today. Like I said in my original post, the last info I had received was that my levels looked great so that was a good thing. Now that I am pregnant they are saying they are out of wack…I’m anxiously awaiting a call from my PCP. I’m actually getting ready to contact them again as we speak. Dr’s can over look things that mean SO much to you…and it’s very frustrating!
Now you said that after 6 weeks you were able to stop the PTU? Did your Grave’s go into remission while you were pregnant? I have read a couple of articles stating that could happen. I really can’t thank you enough for all of your wonderful recommendations I’m sooo glad I found this site. I will keep you posted on my numbers and what the dr has to say. I had some blood work done yesterday and I am also having blood work done at 7am tomorrow and have an appt with my OB at 2pm tomorrow….seems like my OB is really on top of things which is reassuring…my PCP on the other hand, well I might just have to call her again!!

Hi Shirley! Thank you so much for your reply. I am in a pretty small area in Maine and only moved here about 7 months ago. I am going to speak with my OB about an endocrinologist as suggested and hopefully that will help! I actually have Grave’s disease so I am Hyper sorry if I did not mention that and I only found out about this a couple of months ago. My husband and I had been trying when I got every sign and symptom I was pregnant except for a positive pregnancy test….the only positive I got was thyroid disease ” title=”Wink” />
I’m very glad I found this site as well! And very glad you responded you have made me feel a lot better!

Thank you so much for your timely response it means so much to me! I am not currently seeing an endo…but my OB and PCP are part of the same facility which makes it easier for them to work together. Last I knew my levels were under control and then changed "drastically" with my pregnancy. I will post more once my PCP calls me back to explain everything. Again, thank you so much for kind welcome and response! It would be wonderful to hear from woman who have had similar experiences. I also wanted to let you know that I currently take PTU which I’ve heard is not suppose to be so bad in pregnancy??
