Thank you Bobbi!
The internet is such a weird universe, isn’t it? As I said, a Pandora’s box of wild misinformation. My doctor and endo don’t feel that RAI or surgery are the appropriate options for me at this point, which is nice in the lack of pressuring me way! I am glad that even though I didn’t go with the medication right away that I have not suffered any damage to my heart or otherwise! I was very careful with the other options I followed first, and was also following a heavy regimen of yoga, which I love.
It’s hard when you want to bring another human being into the world, and you know there is a responsibility to reduce harm and possibilities of bad effects on that person before they’re even a reality. A midwife friend of mine who also has an autoimmune disorder and is pregnant, also suggested talking to an obstetrician that she knows who works with high risk pregnancies, and was helpful to her through her pre-conception concerns, so I am working on getting a reference through my doctor.
