Question
I'm 29years old. I'm trying to have a baby,I would like to know my chances of this happening?

Answer
yes, sure you can.
i'm not sure about increased risk of infertility, but in generally many Graves' pt can have baby.
you have to take PTU instead of Methimazole during pregnancy to control your disease.
but more risk of complication is reported eg' preeclampsia,heart failure,preterm, thyrotoxicosis.
