My wife and i were trying to concieve for 2yrs and went through 2 miscarriages before she was dianosed with graves diease. As soon as we told the endocronologist about it she tolds us to stop trying. They recomoned you do not concieve untill your thyroid is stable and even then it is considered a high risk pregnancy. All the doctors we talked to and the research we did pointed to surgery. My wife is having her thryoid removed on monday.

I’m sorry to hear about that! I hope that the surgery went well. Unfortunately, all through my last pregnancy I was Hypo and I didn’t find out that I was Hyper until this pregnancy (2 years later.) I’m now 20 weeks and positive for the antibody that passes to the baby so I will begin seeing my high risk OB next week. Good luck with future pregnancies!!!

Hi! I have had Hashimoto’s Disease for the past 4 years and now I am 18 weeks pregnant and it has changed to Graves Disease per my endocrinologist. Just this week I tested positive to the antibodies and so now I will begin seeing a high risk Obgyn. We are waiting for blood work to come back and for my endocrinologist to confer with a colleague as to if I will begin the medication since I just lost 8 lbs since my last appointment 3 weeks ago. How do I find out how common this is since I am considered a “swinger” between Hypo and Hyper? Are there any articles published that specifically discuss in detail about Pregnancy and Graves disease?

Thank you for any help you can offer!
