Dear "Tom"

You left this comment on my blog

How's the Hashimoto's? Isn't it dangerous to be on PTU and get pregnant?

I am deeply flattered by your concern for my well being.  I have hypothyroidism.  Therefore I take thyroid replacement hormone, not a radioactive substance that kills what would, in the case of PTU be an hyperactive thyroid.

Not taking my levoxyl would be far more detrimental to my fertility and a growing fetus, than taking it. 

Again thanks for keeping me on my toes. I wouldn't want to forget to research a drug, that I will take my entire pregnancy.
