Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 -for surgery - no waiting period though you may want to wait till you're stable on thyroid hormone replacement since it's likely (not inevitable though) that you may go hypo. Surgery is a good option for people who truly can't tolerate ATDs or who want to get pregnant fast. Did you say you're 23? No need to rush into surgery . ____________________________________________________________________ Thanks Fay, I know I said I was 23, but actually I'm 24.(Not sure what I was thinking when I said I was 23) I have been trying to understand all of this thyroid stuff since I was told that I had hyperthyroidism in August. I have been thinking about the surgery option since I know now that I have GD. I know I shouldn't be jumping into surgery but I would like to get pregnant as soon as possible, My grandmother has hypothyroidism and just takes a pill once a day for the rest of her life I don't think that's too bad and wouldn't mind it either. So if surgery is an option open to me I think I'll take it. Thank you so much for listening to me. I appreciate every thing you have told me and helped me to understand better. Maybe the more I educate myself my mind will change about the whole surgery thing. Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
