Guest guest Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 I was diagnosed in April with Graves when my second child was 6 months old (I was having the symptoms when he was 3-4 months old). On my first visit with the endo, he put me on PTU 100 mg in the morning and 50mg in the evening (low dose because I am breastfeeding). The doctors office called after with my bloodwork and said that the levels were high and that the 150 mg might not have any visible effect. So, I have to go in again in 2 weeks for more blood work. My worry is that they will have to significantly up my dose. I am currently breastfeeding and am wondering if there are other moms out there breastfeeding while on PTU. What dosage are you taking? I am so worried that by taking the PTU and breastfeeding I'm unnecessarily putting by baby boy at risk. (my endo did make sure to tell me to have his thryoid levels checked every 4 weeks) My son is almost 8 months old and I want to go a full year as I had with my daughter.
