Pregnant, Shocked and Beta Blockers anyone?

[CadysMom25]

I am a mother to 1 princess :) however the journey was not easy. I wasn't diagnosed with my Thyroid condition until I was 2 months pregnant. It makes sense why we struggled to conceive pre-Cady. It took us almost 2 years! I haven't had RAI done, long story. I recently had Thyroid Storm and my new Endocrinologist advises that I shouldn't be ttc'ing until after. Makes perfect sense. I do want the RAI. But I just found myself in a bizarrely strange place, we weren't ttc'ing, in fact we were doing everything to prevent it. It just happened. I had a miscarriage a little after Thanksgiving. We were ttc'ing for almost 1 year. Prior to that I had a early on miscarriage a few years ago. I should be elated, excited and overjoyed but I can't be.

In this situation it's bittersweet for me. When I was pregnant with Cady, I had a difficult time as it was with just my Graves' Disease and taking that darn PTU. I was over the moon happy to finally carry a child passed the first trimester. Now that all this drama has happened and I am now on Propanolol [20mg, 2x a day] to control my blood pressure, so far so good. However, I am concerned that it will cause ill effects to this new miracle growing inside me. I'm concerned about what happens next, will I even get to keep this baby or will my dr. suggest I do otherwise? It's still early, I'm only about 4 weeks.

Has anyone been on a pill regimen whether it be because you are hyperthyroid or hypo and on a beta blocker the same time while pregnant? What did your doctor suggest you do? Stay on the beta blocker or get off it? All experience whether good or bad, I'd like to hear. I'm honestly scared to even tell my new Endocrinologist "Oops I'm preggo, I want to keep it!" therefore prolonging the purpose of getting RAI. TIA. xox
