Yeah I have been pregnant 6 times, I have 3 kiddos! But my last baby I had in 2010, I was very sick the entire pregnancy, only gained 4 lbs. then dropped almost 30 right after having her! I had severe anxiety the whole time after i had her i kept going back to the dr.'s , they just blamed it on pp! I never really had chest pain, besides the pain from my fibromyalgia. My heart just raced, I always felt cold too! My hair fell out alot after the birth of my baby too! My symptoms were not really bad until I was finally diagnosed in February. All I know is that there has got to be something else going on for my levels to go up and down like this every couple weeks! I tested positive for Hashi's and Graves, but the last Endo Dr.'s PA I seen said that its most likely Graves because I have mild TED in my left eye. Well I have always had one eye bigger than the other my whole life , you really can't tell, it just looks like I have a lazy eye. Is there another anti-body test I shoulod have done that tests for Hashi's? Could it possibly be a adrenal or pituitary problem?
I had Graves too. It took a long time of me being a pushy patient to get the right answers. My symptoms started shortly after I had my last child.
My symptoms were- hot & sweating all the time, diarrhea, chest pains, and high blood pressure and high heart rate.
I didn't have Graves for very long- thank goodness. It took a little over a year to get diagnosed and it lasted for about 2 years. My personal thoughts are after having a child it totally messes up our hormones and our body has a hard time getting everything regulated.
I did not have gestational diabetes.
Hope this helps- good luck
