Hi girls... I've posted in other threads about my hyper thyroid condition... must have missed this one.

Endo is still "out" as to whether i have Graves or Post Partum. I was diagnosed last summer... was thyrotoxic with one level 47 (the one that should be between 10 - 19). I ws put on beta blockers and PTU. After about 6 weeks on PTU I started gaining weight and all my symptoms were kinda reversing. I had a blood test and it showed a normal result (13)... so my Endo said to just take half a tablet a day... well I did that for a while but I started to feel really crappy... mainly from stomach bloating (I usually have a flat tummy)... so i was naughty and stopped taking it altogether... my Endo was really annoyed but said that it was really suprising that my levels had gone back to normal so quickly so said i could stay off the PTU for another month... then have a blood test... well I've just had the test and it showed that my level is now slightly above normal (22) so i'm back on half a tablet... the bloatedness hasn't come back yet. My Endo was again really suprised that my levels weren't alot higher.

The thing is I'm still BFing and from what i have read this can affect the test results. Does anyone know anything about this? Do you think this sounds like Graves? or Post Partum?
