Hi Everyone,

Joeyj, What meds have the endo put you on? My endo was a professor of Endochinology at RBWH so I pretty much trusted him. He said Propylthiouracil (PTU) was the better drug to be on whilst pregnant. He also said that babies getting a goitre because of it isn't really true. I had a happy healthy preg while taking PTU and in fact the pregnancy put the graves into remission somewhat so I was only having to take half a tablet per day. Also bub had to have a blood test at 3 weeks to make sure her thyroid hormones were okay and she was perfectly fine. Best of luck with everything.

Oh Hellrazed, you had a tough tough time with the hypocalcaemia. Hmmm, I know what it's like taking truckloads of caltrate and calcitriol. Even now, nearly 12 months after my thyroidectomy, although my parathyroids are functioning okay again my blood calcium levels are still a little low and I still get the tingling in my hands and feet every now and then.
I hope you're feeling better soon!
