Well I have an overractive thyroid. I was diagnose last year when learning that I had miscarried. Now this year I almost full term and my thyroid is in remission (regulated). My doctor had me taking meds in the first trimester and I've been getting blood tests regularly. Once my thyroid became regulated I didn't have to take my meds anymore. It is very important to follow your doctors instructions and take all meds....please take your meds....it will benefit you and your baby.

I had this with my daughter they just upped my meds. Also if no one has told you yet don't take your thyroid medicine the same time as your prenatal vitamin because you thyroid med won't work then.

I have an underactive thyroid, too. I was regulated before my pregnancy but that honestly means nothing because pregnancy itself can cause a controlled thyroid to go out of wack.. They'll probably draw your blood much more and adjust your medication accordingly, but I've had no issues with mine. My previous pregnancy I had no idea I had an underactive thyroid til the end and my son was just fine!
