Suggest Treatment For Graves Disease

I was diagnosed with Graves disease last Septmeber and have undergone radioactive iodine treatment. I am now on 150 mcg of levothyroxine a day to remain stabalized. My husband and I would like to start a family now and I just want to know the steps I need to take to insure a healthy pregnancy and above all a healthy baby.

Make your TSH levels less than 2.5 if you are planning to start your family,During pregnancy 150 won't be sufficient. So, during pregnancy dont forget to check TSH levels every 6 wks and try to keep it within 2.5.
