Baby with Grave's disease???

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

I was diagnosed with Grave's disease in Feb. 2003 and had radio

iodine treatment for it in June. After some months of waiting for

my thyroid to stabilize it hasn't done so on it's own. So now I am

on thyroxin indefinitely since my thyroid was under active. Now I

am wanting to try and get pregnant early next year but the doctor

has told me that there is a small chance that the baby could get

Grave's disease since I would have to remain on thyroxin during the

pregnancy. What are the odds of this happening??? Also is there

any truth to not being able to conceive very easily if you have

thyroid problems??? I'm a tad bit worried about getting pregnant

again even though the chance of the baby getting Grave's disease is

quite small but I guess someone has to make up the statistics.

Thanks in advance for any info.
