Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hi everyone, What is a safe length of time after ending Methimazole before trying to become pregnant? I heard that it does not stay in your system long, but I would like to be as safe as possible. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, but I would like to be off of all meds before that happens. I am hoping after my next labs (in the next month), I'll have a better idea of how much longer I have to be on meth. Thanks for all the support!

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hi , Methimazole does have a short half-life and, depending on your metabolism, can be totally eliminated within a few days to a week. And while methimazole crosses the placental membrane more readily than PTU, it's sometimes used in pregnancy in low doses. Take care, Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
