Advice?

Does anyone else besides me suffer from PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and hypothyroidism? I'm almost 10 weeks pregnant and would like to hear other ladies with these two give me some advice. :)

A lot of pregnant women will get a cyst or cysts while pregnant. It will go away over time its due to hormones. It actually produces progesterones if I remember correctly and its good for the baby.

I take 400mcg of levothyroxine for my thyroid. I am on my fourth child and took thyroid medication throughout all of them if your thyroid is not under control your baby could have birth defects my doctor said.
