Avatar n tn My son (3.5) was tested for thyroid disorder and had a TSH score of 12 with T4 score in the normal range. At the time, the only symptom of any thyroid issues was that he was falling off of the growth chart his doctor has. My son is asian and adopted, so it is difficult for me to know if this was a real problem or not.
Avatar f tn When your doctor says he'll "burn" your thyroid, what he means is that he'd recommend RAI (radioactive iodine). You are given a dose of radioactive iodine, and over the course of several months, your thyroid gland is destroyed by the radiation. Once it is destroyed, you will be hypOthyroid and will have to be on replacement hormones for the rest of your life. RAI is seldom, if ever, done on pregnant women.

I am planning on having a baby myself. I am 36! If i have an issue, it is because of my age and has nothing to do with this thyroid. So, don't worry too much....try to see if you have other issues...Good luck.

Avatar f tn I have had Hashimoto's thyroid for 8 years now and have had 2 kids in the past 5 years. It is possible!! I was also told that if your thryoid is not treated correctly when you are pregnant you can have a "slow" child.... I had no problems though and my kids are great and smart!
Avatar n tn She was born without a thyroid. Now they want to test her for growth hormone deficiency because she is growing very slow and tested low on an igf1 test. She is on track in every other way but is just very small and hadnt grown at all between her 9 and 12 month check up.

Avatar f tn I would love to have kids and probably soon but im not quit sure I can. Because I have NEVER had a period in my life. Although i have been to several good specialist i have still have no luck in finding out what may be wrong with me. Can anyone give me some advice or help?
Avatar f tn (dope) I have ask my kids for many years to please just do a little research on thyroid cancer and the way I act, and maybe they would understand me a little better so I could be part of their lives again, but they want, they say nothing is wrong with me and that I just want everyone to feel sorry for me and to just get off the pitty pot, I am not sure about anything anymore except for how bad I miss my kids and grand kids, and that I love them so much!!!
Avatar n tn I would ask a doctor. Maybe your pregnant.. Or perhaps you have something wrong with a thyroid, or perhaps its a tape worm.... Just shooting in the dark here, but 5 weeks is a long time. Have you been gaining any weight? Loosing weight?
Avatar n tn The answer may be your granddaughter...kids, especailly kids just starting school, are little petrie dishes of bacteria, viruses, etc. They really do bring home all kinds of goodies. Ice cream cures everything that isn't helped by chicken soup!
7677085 tn?1395374075 baby brother is kicking her! lol kids are.crazy cute!
Avatar f tn Yeah she keeps saying mommy baby want out. Baby wants out but at the same time she wants lots of attention. Everytime I have a contraction she's like mommy the baby coming? Lol Its so cute but her wanting to be stuck up under me is kind of over whelming.
Avatar f tn Is anyone having problems with their kids acting out more than normal the closer you get to your due date? My kids seem to be acting out more than normal.
Avatar f tn Yes. It is normal I'm guessing because for me it's not only for kids but for dogs also. I just get irritated.
Avatar f tn I'm a ftm and have no other kids, but my cousin's kids who is 3 and 1 years in age are getting on my nerves. They stay with us so it's kind of difficult to ignore them. They are impossible to control and my cousin and his wife doesn't care how they behave. Since I fell pregnant they became really naughty and throwing tantrums for nothing. They would try so smack me on my tummy and all though I won't allow it, they start screaming and throwing a fit because I said no.
5623087 tn?1377889284 Some kids are tiny even though she's 8, 40pds is the usual for a 5/6 year old.. but I agree tell.
5615074 tn?1378316840 So I was wondering if your older kids can tell what you are having? My daughter is 3 and a half and at the moment is an only child. But she ALWAYS talks about her sister and all the things they will do or will say my sister is in mommys tummy. Could this mean I will have a girl?
Avatar f tn The worst thing about my thyroid being off is the lack of energy. I have two young kids, 6 and 8 which all they want is for me to play with them. After working all day/week, suppose to be 45 hrs but never seem to get because lack of energy or interest to be at work, I just want to chill on the couch. The fact is I used to be the one that chould not sit still, had to do multiple things at once, chould wait to have kids so I can play and have excuse for acting like a kid too.
Avatar n tn the highest number of cancers wre detected at least contaminated areas where most milk were consumed.
5939183 tn?1377163795 Both myself, my dad and his mother have rheumatoid arthritis. My mom and her sister are both on thyroid meds for underproductive thyroid. Should I get tested again and push for meds. My kids are growing like weeds and they are thin but should I get them tested anyway? I am obsese and have been so since my mom put me on a 3 month birth control injection which stopped my periods.
