Struggling with Hyperthyroidism and PCOS: Need Advice

It is important to treat the graves since there can be complications with your heart. Treatment for graves is essentially destroying your thyroid (radiation, surgery, or medication). Most people chose radiation. I thought surgery was my best option. Now I don’t have children but I would like to one day and asked a lot of questions during the process to treat graves. After the thyroid is treated (or destroyed) you’ll need thyroid hormones replacement. Now what is super interesting is that when a woman is pregnant she is producing more hormones… soo during pregnancy a lot of women take a lower dose of thyroid replacement due to the circulating hormones. I know PCOS complicates things. But it’s important to take care of yourself so you can be happy and healthy for a baby. I wish you the best of luck and an easy process through it all.

Me too I took the radiation and it completely destroyed/killed my thyroid gland, the doctor gave me too high of a dose and shortly after about 3 months later I ended up getting pregnant but unfortunately I had a very difficult pregnancy with so many complications and the baby didn't make it, I delivered her at 8months (stillborn) and bless her tiny Lil heart because of the high dose of radiation in my body it caused her to have burn marks on her skin..SMH its so sad and its been very difficult to cope with even 14 yrs later so my advice because of what I went through is if u have a thyroid condition make sure u understand how high risk u and the baby will be and understand all the complications that may a cure also find the right doctors because thats where I messed up, I feel if I had only gotten a second opinion and found a better doctor that maybe my baby would be alive today..

Made my testosterone go down to a 90 year old man. I was very young when I was diagnosed. 1998 Im 55 and still have huge issues ,sexually, and physically.

I had 3 rounds of RAI at 16 . Killed my thyroid. The best thing I can tell you is to make sure you have a good endo, and to maintain or lose weight as possible. Pcos is definitely hard to manage with no thyroid. I have been struggling for 15 years to try and conceive.
