Re: Hypothyroidism and pregnancy
After almost a year of pleading to up my dosage, they finally did and I'm getting better. My blood pressure gets a little high sometimes, but other than that, I feel a LOT better. My back has even gotten better because I have enough energy to work through the pain (having energy sure does help with the depression of being hurt, too) I'm currently taking .075 of the thyroxine(sp?) (or Synthroid - that's the brand name version).

My mother has had HYPERthyroid for some time, and her's fluctuates. Some years she battles it constantly, taking BETA blockers and thyroid meds, and others, she doesn't have to take a thing. It's odd.

In your case, with the pregnancy, I WOULD suggest waiting, at LEAST until your levels are normal. All I can think about when I think of having another baby is dealing with the thyoid fatigue, plus the fatigue of pregnancy. Sometimes, you have to follow the cues from your body, ya know? If your body is not acting right, it may just be a sign that it still hasn't recovered from the last pregnancy.

My aunt had three babies back to back and spent almost six months in the hospital after the last one. Her body was just so tired, she couldn't function. And SHE was perfectly healthy, no other health problems. So, you have to decide for yourself if you think your body can handle it.
