Hello I have graves disease and gave birth to my third son 4 months ago! I also have the attractive bulgy eyes associated with graves... But oh well here is my history. Warning it is a long read !!

2007 - Had a miscarriage at 7 weeks and then no AF for 4 months which led me to the GP for tests. Tests revealed very hypo thyroid so sent to endocrinologist for testing & medication. I was very sick during this period of diagnosis & figuring out my correct medication. Graves was also diagnosed and my eyes looked like an ugly fish and were protruding & so painful. Anyway after a couple of months my medication was working to control my thyroid and I was feeling much better but told NOT to TTC as the medication could cause miscarriage.

2008 - After 12 months on medication my thyroid was still too over active and the medication while making me feel better was doing all the work as my thyroid was not getting back to normal. I remember every time the endo tried to reduce my dose it would go crazy again. Anyway we really wanted to TTC so endo suggested a thyroidectomy. I agreed after researching and decided yes goodbye dodgy thyroid.

A few weeks after my surgery I was diagnosed as having Graves disease still and I guess I'll always have it. Put on medication for under active thyroid as I now had none... And I felt wonderful. Finally I felt normal again. No more crazy mood swings, and the other stuff I experienced during the previous 12 months. Plus my eyes calmed down a little too.

2009 - 3 MONTHS AFTER SURGERY I fell pregnant with DS1!! All went well and the only concern was my graves might be passed on to him during the birth but blood tests after his test showed no graves & normal thyroid levels

2010 - pregnant with DS2
2012 - pregnant with DS3

So this long winded story hopefully shows you my positive thyroid graves disease journey.

Good luck & let me know if you need more info xx
