Time to introduce myself

Hello! I've posted a few times for charting help and have lurked a lot, so I figured that it would be nice to introduce myself.

My name is Leigh. DH and I are 25 and we have one son, Henry, who just turned one. I am breastfeeding and have not ovulated yet, from what I can tell, since I got pregnant with DS. We plan to start trying for number 2 in March or when I start ovulating again...whichever comes first.

After DS was born, I was diagnosed with Graves' Disease, and due to a severe medication reaction, I had a total thyroidectomy in October. My thyroid levels are normal now, and I'm hoping that this will not affect my fertility. FX!

I will probably lurk more than I post, but I didn't want to be a stranger when I do post! I have learned so much from you ladies already and look forward to sharing this journey with you!

I had my Thyroid removed because of Graves and Hashimotos, so I'm glad you got that all taken care of, and hopefully you are feeling better.

Hope your stay is short and sweet.

Thanks! It is nice to know I'm not the only one. I do feel a lot better; I really had no idea just how bad the Graves' Disease was making me feel! I have so much more energy now, too!

One thing that I am afraid of is weight gain. I've gained 4 lbs since my surgery, but that could be just laziness and poor diet. It does scare me, though. Has it been fairly easy for you to maintain a healthy weight?

I have not been as lucky as you. I have gained 35lbs since my surgery. I am lucky that I started a little underweight, so my BMI is still in the normal range, just in the higher end of normal. Since I gained it very fast it isn't healthy weight. I need to work harder to get back on track. I think if I lost 20lbs of that I would be in the perfect healthy range. I have stopped gaining and that was the first step, and trust me I was afraid that was never going to happen.

I really wish you luck and hope you can continue to maintain your weight.

Thanks! Good luck with the weight loss! It's so tough...I just love food and find that the yummiest is what I should be avoiding. I could stand to lose 20lbs too. Just hoping it's not a tougher battle without my thyroid. Fingers crossed for both of us!
