has shrunk significantly and she feels some what healthier than she did. Soon she'll be treated and we'll have to deal with an all new array problems from Hypothroidism.

After all this I'll tell you what I think you should try avoid;

Avoid the heart ache of failed pregnancies.
Avoid making yourself or your spouse deal with the pain associated with pregnancy when untreated for the disorder

Avoid any strenuous activities, excluding intercourse.

Although I am a little biased against getting pregnant in this condition it's your porogative. Here are a few things to consider if you do decide or end up pregnant;

Consider getting treated for your thyroid disorder first.
Consider the genetic implications before hand.
Make sure you're taking your medications regularly.
Consult your doctor about the effects of your medication on the baby.
Eat alot, especially if you are having trouble maitaining your weight.
Talk to your spouse about how they feel, make your decisions wisely.

I really wish that my wife and I knew that she was sick before we had kids. We would have gotten her treated first and enjoyed our youth a little more. Knowing us we still would have had children, but I think it would have taken us longer to pursue it. I love my children and I'm glad that things are looking up. We had a few close calls but we always pulled through. Some times life gives you a bad hand and you gotta deal with what you get. It's not impossible to get pregnant with thyroid disorders, but its not easy and in some cases it really might not be worth the consequenses that come with it. I wish any one who is reading this the best of luck and the best for your whole family.
