Give it two weeks - that should be enough time for your T4 and T3 to come down (TSH lags and won't show reponse for 4-6 weeks). Try to get your doctor to test your free T4 AND free T3 after two weeks (maybe you could talk your OB into ordering it if you explained?)
Perfect -- I have my first appointment with a high risk OB practice with an excellent reputation in two weeks.
BTW, this is another weird thing. I'm diabetic, Type II, diet exercise, always normal HBA1C, only I would fail GTTs. As soon as I got pregnant (like at 5 weeks, only 3 weeks after conception), I started on insulin. I'm now on Humulin 2x/day (36pm, 20am), Humulog 3x/day (16-18 before meals). I'm going to have to increase the pm Humulin as my fasting BGs are into the 90s. But, my daytime BGs seem to be doing *better*???????? Could the hyperthyroidism be lowering my BGs?????
Alternatively, could the pregnancy somehow be improving my metabolic systems generally?
I've gained weight, about 10-12 pounds, but I'm thinner generally in the face and elsewhere except for the baby and breasts. So, maybe my body fat has decreased a bit. Would that explain the changes?
