    Endocrinology Hyperthyroidism Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
    I've had 2 post-partum hemorrhages, first with a 1 1/2 litre blood loss. Second hemorrhage a 1 litre blood loss.

    Last pregnancy was 7 months ago. Thyroid tests indicate hyperthyroidism - tsh - 0.02 (reference 0.5-4.5), FT4 16 (reference 10-20), FT3 4.7 (reference 3.5-6.0). No hyperthyroid symptoms but lots of hypothyroid symptoms which makes me think could be an issue with the pituitary.

    My symptoms are gradually getting worse, in particular chest soreness and aching joints. My hair is falling out, my nails are brittle and my gums are receding. I've had an ECG and blood tests which show the heart is normal. My alkaline phosphatase are 149 (reference 20-105).

    I have an appointment with an Endocrinologist but not for a couple of months.
