    Unfortunately I am on my 4th endo. I told all of them upfront that my #1 goal was to have a baby and my concerns about all the treatment “options” and literally all of them were unsupportive and even inappropriate. One tolds I only THINK I want a child and she would give hers back of given the choice. One said if I was concerned about side effects of treatment on a fetus it means I’m not ready to be a mother. One told me this diagnosis might be a sign that parenthood isn’t meant to be for us. Everyone stresses the importance of finding an endo you trust but i can’t seem to find one who isn’t a total jerk!

    There are a number of reasons but I don’t feel comfortable with surgery and I’d rather have my antibody levels lowered before TTC. Thanks anyway tho

    I apologize-I guess my post was confusing. I appreciate your response but I’m really looking for someone who was diagnosed before their first pregnancy. I do not think RAI or TT are good options given what you said about antibodies being present afterwards and causing complications-it’s why I’ve chosen the ATDs. I’m just looking to connect with people who were in a similar situation who had to decide whether or not to continue TTC given the risks with GD
