Have you talked with your doctor about your apprehension?  Maybe you could spend a little more time asking questions and getting answers that satisfy you.  It sounds like you are hoping to get a reply from Dr. Lupo.  He doesn't reply in this members support group.  If you want a medical opinion, repost this on Dr. Lupo's board.  I think it is titled something like hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer.  Also, since you are looking for feedback from women who began taking this med after conception, you might also post in a pregnancy/parenting group.  Good luck!
