[quote=Anonymous]Wow, I would be furious and so disappointed!  I'm at Cornell in NYC and my RE was more on top of my thyroid than even my endo, who felt that testing once/month was aggressive enough.  My RE was kind enough to test every.single.week. that I was in there for monitoring (so, basically, from BFP at 4 weeks until I "graduated" at 10 weeks).  Granted it was mostly for peace of mind on my end, but my numbers really did fluctuate during that time.

There's also some thought that pregnancy can trigger an autoimmune response -- I never had a single symptom of elevated TSH prior to my first pregnancy, which my OB gratefully tested at my first appointment.  I ended up losing the pregnancy and was in a "thyroid storm" for a year.  When I finally ended up at my Cornell I was diagnosed with DOR, which my RE also said he sees a lot of among hashimotos patients.

This is rambling but I'm really full of rage for women whose doctors aren't supportive of aggressive TSH monitoring.[/quote]
