Hi jojo,

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and Grave's disease about 3 months ago. I have seen my specialist three times since and am on Neomercazole tablets to get my levels back to the normal zone. I told the specalist on my first visit that we are TTC. He strongly advised that we put a hold on TTC until my levels are under control and I am off my medication or on a lower dose. According to the specialist the medication is strong and can cause miscarriage or harm to the baby. Seeing as we suffered a miscariage last year we are not wanting to go through that again.

The last two times I have seen him I have reminded him I am eager to TTC... and he keeps reminding me that when my dosage is lower (like half a tablet it would be wise to try). Saying that he did not say no to TTC he just did not recommend it! He did say if I am in a rush I can have an operation to remove my thyroid and then be on medication for under active thyroids my whole life... I am not wanting to have an operation and will wait.

Hope this helps... if you need more infomation let me know!
