Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Hi Lori, I have been gone on vacation for a while and so just read your post. I would definitely say 450 mgs is too high of dose in pregnancy. I was never put on any higher of dose than 300 mgs., even if my levels were high. I actually spiked a little higher early in pregnancy as a result of elevated pregnancy hormones and naturally dropped midway through the pregnancies. I went to a high risk endo also but my endo and ob were on the ball as I also went to a high risk ob. I had several ultra sounds to keep track of the growth of the babies. I will write more as your situation progresses. I have much to tend to in my home,ie unpacking, mail, you know. I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 , Thank you so much for responding to my post. I, too, have decided that 450 mg. was not something I was willing to risk (especially since my FT4 has fallen into the high end of normal). I have labs again a week from tomorrow. I am kind of anxious to see what those look like, as I feel like perhaps I should be starting to cut my PTU. I am in my fourth month and from what I have picked up, that seems to be around the time some women's thyroid levels start to even out. I am hoping this to be the case with mine, also, I am just a bit worried about going hypo. I can't imagine feeling any more tired than I am! I also have a four year old at home to care for and between him, the new one on the way, the old man and keeping up with the house, I really don't need the graves slowing me down anymore!! Again, thanks for taking time out of your busy day to respond! Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
