Cleaning the house is never fun when you're trying to juggle a cat, a 3 year old and a OH who thinks its funny to stand in the window laughing as you run outside to save your clean washing from a torrential downpour.
And its especially not funny when the phone won't stop ringing everytime you get moving on an important task like folding said soaking wet washing.
So I mustn't have sounded very pleasant when the incessant ringing noise started up again and I snapped down the phone "HELLO?!" and half expected the usual drone of telesales agents offering me even more cheap glass.
"Hello there, could I speak to Hypo-mum?" (ok he used my real name, but lets stick with what you know haha).
"Speaking" I huffed, eyeing the pile of clothes that would crease if they sat there much longer.
"Oh, hello, Mr Specialist calling," he continued, "I have received a message from my secretary regarding your TT and you wishing to get pregnant again."
My heart started working overtime and my mood lightened instantly. I had forgotten that I'd asked for a callback, and half didn't expect him to call.
"Hi... yes... " I mumbled "But we're worried about the risks."
He sighed and explained that the risks are very rare. In fact there's more risk to the TT than there is for me to get pregnant as I don't have a thyroid.
It would be different if I was Hypo and still had a thyroid, or if I'd had Radio-Iodine treatment.
Those who have had Radio-Iodine should wait 4-6 months, to give the radiation chance to completely clear.
"In my opinion I'm happy to advise you go ahead, have fun, good luck and I'll see you pregnant in September!" he laughed.
My doctor had got it wrong. The risks are low.
Ok they're slightly higher that those of a normal pregnancy, but nothing to really worry about.
So in the words of Buzz Lightyear (well almost) ......
TO CONCEPTION... AND BEYOOOOOND!
