Hi Lisa :D

Deep down, if you feel like taking the pill then go ahead. It's probably best to take it when you feel ready, and not when everyone else thinks its a good time.

Just ensure you always have a loving support of family, friends and doctors available in case you need someone to talk to, or someone for additional support.

Finally, always keep hope alive :wink: Despite all this, there's light at the end of the tunnel regardless of all the setbacks you may be facing now. This may be a difficult time for you, but sooner than later you'll have a lovely daughter to care and love {??}

May everything get better right .... now :D

Sorry that I've been away from so long. Last Tues. I went and saw my OB, who gave me the advice that taking the PTU would be far less risky than not taking it. So that was it for me and I've been taking it ever since. The bad problem has been that I've been very ill all week long now :(. I've lost 7 lbs. because I've been able to keep very little down. I feel miserable and now I don't know what to do if I can't tolerate this happening over and over, since my OB thinks this is what's best. He's hoping that the nausea and vomiting subside, but there isn't really any inkling of that happening yet. I just have different degrees of nausea, how bad depends on when I've taken the medicine.

If that weren't enough, I've been very depressed over this whole thing. I hate being sick like crazy and at this point, no lines have been drawn about there ever being a point where we decide that this option isn't the best for us. In my mind, this means a potential of another at least 4 months of being very sick, which is very not good to me. I go again to see the OB tomorrow and I'm hoping he'll be able to either give me more hope that things will work themselves out or take me off of it (the latter having a TINY chance of happening). And at some point, my husband and I may very well have to be the ones who decide how much I can physically take.

Hey lisa, Keep your chin up. I am sure everything will turn out ok in the long run. I too suffer from panic attacks and know how scary they can be. I keep you in my prayers everyday. If you ever need anything just let me know!! Hang in there.

Thanks Terrence :). I know that a lot of my stress and anxiety comes from thinking that this will be going on forever. Of course, my symptoms and problems will have to be re-evaluated quite frequently. I know my doctor is VERY adamant about me taking the PTU, but I guess I just don't know how much more than I can handle because of the severity of my symptoms to date. So, thank you again for keeping me in your prayers...it is VERY much appreciated and I'm sure it will contribute to a safe outcome for me and the baby :).

Hi Lisa :D

I guess at times people adapt and cope with what they face in life. I hope the same happens with you and the PTU - that you finally can take the PTU without the side effects.

All the best, keep smiling and stay positive :wink:
