u/Doctor-Liz

I developed hyperthyroidism in April, and am about five minutes pregnant.

Honestly I'm wishing I'd just lied to the doctor, because they are point-blank refusing to give me anything for my thyroid. I brought up that an uncontrolled thyroid is also very dangerous to pregnancy. No dice. Because they don't know what's causing it (it's not autoimmune and was very sudden onset. My guess is actually a very early miscarriage back in April, but I can't prove it). They've been putting me off with "blood test and come back".

I want to *scream*. I have two small children to look after! My temper is beyond a mess! I have zero energy, ever. I'm terrified that this fetus is going to be harmed by what I can only call medical negligence at this point. It's taken a month for them to even give me something for my heart!

I really don't know what to do. I'll go to my next appointment, because I'll never get anything sooner (there's a public holiday tomorrow so everyone's taking a long weekend anyway) but I may need to transfer care. It might also be too late?

Advice welcome, mostly I needed to get this off my chest.

Genius here has just remembered that one of the kids coming to my daughter's birthday party has an egg allergy.

Can I do something like mix one flax "egg" and one "yoghurt egg"? Or will that get weird?

The cake is essentially a sweet banana bread, because the kid wanted a strawberry cake and it's a good way to get the moisture balance.

This will be my third. Husband is over the moon, I'm... okay, I know I am quite excited because I thought I was pregnant two months ago and was disappointed when I wasn't. (Still think it might have been a chemical, actually). But I can't access that excitement and I sure can feel the apprehension.

Anybody else pregnant with kids at home?

I have got a diagnosis from an actual MD (which I'm not).

My results are

-TSH <0.01 mlU/l

- FT3 10.8 pmol/l (free FT3)

- FT4 28.4 pmol/l (free FT4)

Is this "whoa, yikes!" or "not ideal but not a huge problem"? Spouse and I weren't preventing pregnancy, so I have to wait for a period before they'll prescribe anything.
