Wife has been pregnant for about a month. I know the thyroid can be hyperstimulated during pregnancy and I'm wondering if that's because of colloids being liberated from a goiter (because of increased progesterone?) I never noticed a goiter on her but she has the lines on her neck above and below the thyroid that many women have. Currently it seems mildly puffed out at times and she mentions a full feeling in her throat with mild daily nausea.
Reading Broda Barnes book he talks about a woman who only got checked at the end of her pregnancy and it was too late to reverse at that point (resulting in convulsions + c section but baby and mom were "ok") and he recommends thyroid check at the very beginning of pregnancy to prevent such things.
Should I order a thyroid panel from life extension or will the TSA look abnormally low due to temporary stimulation? Is it safe to start small doses of T3? Its all I have and don't want to wait for the delivery of Mexican pharmaceuticals.
Any advice/ resources welcome.
