I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in Dec 2011 after noticing my enlarged thyroid. I was a little nervous about it since I didn't know much of anything about thyroid disease, but I knew it was common so I didn't panic.
I got home and read everything I could about it to make sure I got the correct treatment and after multiple blood tests, finding an endocrinologist and 3 different levels of meds I am feeling good with 75mcg of synthroid and TSH was 1.24 in March. I got tested in March because my husband and I started to really try for another child and I wanted to make sure we were good to go, as my endo suggested. Now we are four weeks pregnant and super excited, but a littler nervous because of what I read about Hashi's and pregnancy. I wanted to start this blog because I am an web junkie, I look everything up online and get info from all sorts of sources, but I could barely find anything about Hashi's and pregnancy! I know a lot of women suffer from this same disease and are probably searching for the same info, so I figured I would share my experience and info that I find.
