    Hi Possoms and welcome to this thread.
    The problems you've been having with conceiving and carrying etc could well be attributed to the Graves Disease. So hopefully being diagnosed will be a step in the right direction of you having your much longed for bubba. I was on propylthiouracil (PTU) for 5 years. PTU is considered the safer drug whilst pregnant and my pregnancy was fine. TBH the preg actually pretty much put the graves into remission. I only had to take half a tab per day. I did have a major relapse after the birth though which is very common. Just thought I'd tell you my experience so that you know you could very successfully have a bubba while you're on meds.

    Kath, just wanted to let you know that I had my calcium checked last week. It was a bit low (not dire but below the minimum acceptable reading) so I have to have more bloods done in 6 weeks time. Also my dose of thyroxine was too low so that's been upped too (no wonder I'd wacked on 10 kilo's since my OP in January) How are you doing?
