My endo said I could go on PTU since I profusely rejected RAI. But not before lecturing me for a good 10 minutes of how the decision I was making was hurting my child, she could have thyroid problems at 3 years old, and just generally patronizing me. She said my dd would need to have her blood taken every month.
My daughter is 2 and only breastfeeds 1-2 times a day. I previously read in multiple sources on the internet that PTU was generally safe. I am starting at 300 mg until my FT4 is in range (as per Elaine Moore's suggestion). What should I do? Should I say I talked to the ped and she said it was okay? DD's ped is clueless. Should I print out all the material and try to find Dr. Hale's book saying that its safe and classified as L2? Should I encourage weaning?
