Dr. Banerjee is helping me to control my thyroid during pregnancy. My situation: - a series of miscarriages (9) - thyroid antibodies - generally ok functioning thyroid After I had tested positive for thyroid antibodies I was offered to participate in a trial with levothyroxine. However, the medication given during the trial was too strong for me. Luckily, this meant I got to see dr. Banerjee. He decided my thyroid did need to be monitored and regulated prior to and during pregnancy, where other doctors had not found the need based on a single thyroid function test (despite the amount of miscarriages I had already had at the time). I now have a healthy daughter and am expecting my second in a few weeks. Having been monitored regularly by dr. Banerjee we have established that my thyroid does get unbalanced from time to time. In those times I have never been able to hold onto a pregnancy successfully: e.g. for my second child wish my GP had to take over as the waiting list for an appointment with dr. Banerjee was simply too long and I am not that young, so in a bit of a hurry. My thyroid levels were approved according to the receptionist and so I got pregnant to find out during my first consequent appointment with dr. Banerjee that he was unpleasantly surprised my levels had been found ok. Indeed, at 12 weeks I found out I lost that child. In conclusion: Monitoring my thyroid is key for me and I might still be childless if it wasn't for dr. Banerjee. Dr. Banerjee takes time to explain results and diagnoses. He even sketched things to explain. This makes me feel more in control of my treatment plan and more capable to explain my condition to other doctors such as gynecologists who need to know. He asked me for my level of education. At first this question surprised me, but now I think it helped him judge how he could best explain my condition to me. It was a question in my own interest.
